Pesticide exposure to greenhouse handgunners

Archives of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1989
The exposure of pesticide applicators in a commercial greenhouse facility was assessed. Data were collected from four handgunners who applied fluvalinate (insecticide), chlorpyrifos (insecticide), ethazol (fungicide), and dicofol (miticide). Potential exposure was measured with exposure pads placed outside all clothing of the applicator. Handwashes and

Heavy metal and pesticide exposure: A mixture of potential toxicity and carcinogenicity

, 2020
There is a growing body of evidence that various pesticides and heavy metals are carcinogenic. If not directly, there is also evidence that shows that these compounds can participate in carcinogenesis in a passive or permissive role, facilitating other ...

Pesticide exposure assessment

Toxicology Letters, 1995
Unintended, accidental, or unavoidable human exposures may result from pesticide use. Risk Characterization provides registrants, regulators, and the public a means to assess relative risks of pesticide use. Exposure Assessments are less standardized.

Residential Pesticide Exposure and Neuroblastoma

Epidemiology, 2001
Neuroblastoma is the most common neoplasm in children under 1 year of age. We examined the relation between residential exposure to pesticides and neuroblastoma, using data from a case-control study of risk factors for neuroblastoma. Incident cases of neuroblastoma (N = 538) were identified through the Pediatric Oncology Group and the Children's Cancer

Survey of exposure to pesticides in greenhouses

Bulletin of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology, 1985
Etude de l'exposition des travailleurs des serres a deux sortes de pesticides; des organochlores (dicofol) et des pyrethroides de synthese (deltamethrine) durant l'application de ces produits sur les citronniers et les haricots. Examen de l'exposition dermique et par inhalation des applicateurs et des personnes recoltant les fruits.

Hair as a marker for pesticides exposure

Journal of Environmental Science and Health, Part B, 2011
Rats were orally treated with mixtures of chlorinated pesticides. Hair was collected and analyzed for pesticide residues over a period of up to four weeks. Quantitative and qualitative analysis of the recovered pesticides in hair were determined using gas chromatography with electron capture detector.

Environmental Equity and Pesticide Exposure

Toxicology and Industrial Health, 1993
Although people of color and low-income groups bear a disproportionate share of the health risks from exposure to pesticides, research attention has been meager, and data on acute and chronic health effects related to their toxic exposures are generally lacking.

Conservatism in Pesticide Exposure Assessment

Regulatory Toxicology and Pharmacology, 2000
Three important factors are commonly encountered in exposure assessment that when combined could overestimate the exposure to pesticides by as much as two orders of magnitude. The three factors discussed are dermal absorption from laboratory animal studies, daily dose extrapolated from partial day monitoring, and nonbolus dose from dermal or inhalation

Pesticide exposure and genotoxic effects as measured by DNA damage and human monitoring biomarkers

International Journal of Environmental Health Research, 2019
Occupational pesticides exposure rises health concern due to genotoxicity and accumulation of pesticides in human biological matrices. Continuous and sublethal exposure to pesticides had been associated with oxidative stress, mutagenic and cell death ...
