The first pesticide exposure study was reported by Griffiths et al. (1951). Parathion was trapped on respirator filter discs during application to citrus trees. Batchelor and Walker (1954) expanded exposure monitoring to include the estimation of potential dermal exposure using pads attached to workers clothing. Durham and Wolfe (1962), in their classic review of worker exposure methodologies, also provided some experimental validation for the best available methods. 

Pesticide mixers and applicators at Farms A and B, and also at an active farm not having a CCC, were monitored for topical (dermal) exposure throughout the 1980 season. No Increased exposure was measured as a result of using the Chemical Control Centers. A paper addressing potential applicator exposure In this and similar situations Is In preparatlon( ).
