| Abstract/Contents: | "The deposition pattern produced on the clothing of the operator during typical lawn and garden maintenance was identified in this study. The application was completed using water (for spray applications) and fertilizer (for granular applications) mixed with fluorescein dye as a tracer. Six types of application equipment were used to apply the dye mixtures to turf in timed and measured walks. The deposition patterns and the level of deposition on the operators clothing produced by each equipment type were determined. Fluorescein dye was used to provide visual evidence of exposure. The quantity of dye deposited at various body locations was measured, using an ultraviolet visible spectrophotometer. The deposition pattern and the total amount deposited were dependent on the type of equipment used for application. Overall, those pieces of equipment where a liquid spray was produced resulted in greater deposition levels than the equipment using a granular product. Contamination from the low volume application and the adjustable garden hose end sprayer equipment was significantly higher than all other pieces of equipment. The amount of contamination also varied by body area with the feet, lower legs, and upper legs receiving the greatest amount of deposition." |
