Abstract/Contents: | CONCLUSION: "In conclusion, it would appear that inhalation exposure levels based on total work day time are below the TWA for organophosphates diazinon and trichlorfon. Dermal exposure levels were generally low, the exceptions being that for the wrist and thigh-scrotal area, and for the STEL for inhalation on 23 July 1979. Frequent cleaning of hands and wrists would tend to reduce the potential for a build-up in the wrist area. Thigh-scrotal area concentrations, which were high on two occasions, may need additional confirmation. To reduce the exposure in the thigh area, an adsorptive but water-proofed backed apron could shield the applicator using hand held spray nozzles and protect this part of the body from potentially hazardous exposure levels." |
