Abstract/Contents:"There has been a great deal of interest and concern about the presence and the risk of pesticides in our daily lives from the food we consume to the chemicals used for turf maintenance. One obvious component in risk calculations is the inherent toxicity of the product. Another component of the risk equation is exposure. For lawn applied pesticides, the exposure is primarily dermal and there have been several interesting studies conducted to evaluate the likelihood of exposure to these products.. The person most likely for exposure to lawn products in the applicator. Commercial applicators in Michigan are required to be trained on how to use personal protective equipment to minimize exposure. This discussion however, is directed toward the likelihood and degree of exposure to people using the lawn area after the products have been applied."
