| Abstract/Contents: | "The testing protocols used to develop the reported findings simulated golfing environments and provided greater exposure than is ever likely for any one golfer, and far in excess of the exposure expected by almost all golfers. Under this scenario, the research summarized indicates certain pesticides, when applied to golf course turf, result in inhalation, dermal or oral exposure that cannot be completely safe as judged by the United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) hazard quotient (HQ) determination. Clark (1996) estimates the critical vapor pressure, below which no turfgrass pesticide will volatilize to produce an HQ greater than one, to be between 3.3 × 10⁻⁶ and 5.6 × 10⁻⁵ mm Hg. Clark (1996) determined the chronic reference dose (RfD) above which no turfgrass pesticide will result in a dermal HQ greater than one to be between 0.0005 and 0.0009. Borgert (1994) reported that a golfer playing every day would have received about one-third of the lifetime reference dose considered safe by the US EPA while playing on a golf course treated with three insecticides. Star et al. (1997) found that a golfer placing a golf ball or tee in their mouth could result in a HQ greater than 1.0 for certain herbicides. Because the HQ is a conservative estimate of hazard, and because golfer exposure was based on worst-case scenarios, more realistic exposure estimates are necessary to predict the health implications, if any, of pesticide exposures to golfers. The evidence provided suggests the need for biological monitoring to determine actual dermal and inhalation exposures of golfers following the application of selected turfgrass pesticides to a golf course. The results would provide a realistic risk assessment, since the behavior of golfers while playing golf is unique compared to pesticide applicators or agricultural workers." |
