Application exposure field study methodology

Additional field studies are needed for many application scenarios vhere data are limited. This will hopefully result in the further develc nent of useful predictive correlations. Improved methodology in the area of estimating hand exposure would be welcome. The data base for estimating dermal penetration also needs to be expanded. Finally, as Dr. Moraskl indicated earlier in his presentation, we need to know more about the effectiveness of various items of frotective clothing and protective devices. The use of protective clothing has been one of the chief regulatory options used in C >P in many of our recent deliberations. 

The second and third sections are descriptions and results of field studies with emphasis on methodology and specific compounds or specific applicator sites. The fourth section deals with trends in exposure assessment and protection and reflects some of the more creative approaches and research dealing with predicting exposure and protecting woricers against exposure. Chapters 25, 26, and 27 deal with predicting exposure levels for agricultural workers.
