Abstract/Contents: | "Exposure to chlorpyrifos insecticide [O,O-diethyl-O-(3, 5,6-trichloro-2-pyridyl)phosphorothioate] was measured in homeowner applicators and in bystanders living in the same household following its application for the control of turfgrass insect pests. Analyses of urine collected for 96 hr from the homeowner volunteers showed that excreted residues ranged from non-detectable to 802 μg among the applicators. When applicators wore the recommended protective clothing, they were less likely to be exposed to chlorpyrifos as either the granular or liquid formulation. However, when applications were made without any special instructions for protective clothing, exposure to the liquid formulation applied as a spray was much more likely to occur than with application of chlorpyrifos as a granular formulation with ferilizer. Of the 40 bystanders who volunteered for the study, only five had detectable residues of chlorpyrifos in their urine and only one of those had a residue above the limit of quantitation (25μg 1-1)." |
