Farm worker exposure

Field methods for performing farm worker exposure and re-entry studies... 

Farm worker exposure to pesticides has been studied extensively over the past 30 years.This scientitic discipline has evolved from the days when respiratory exposure of farm workers was measured using gauze dosimeters placed inside respirators to collect airborne pesticide residues to very sophisticated air sampling devices and remarkable dosimeter devices to measure dermal exposure to farm workers. ... 

Field forms are extremely important for collection of field data during the course of a farm worker exposure study. The following is a list of important uses of field forms for farm worker exposure studies. 

There are many other uses of field forms which are not discussed here but which are critical to the success of a farm worker exposure smdy.

There are several advantages of using a generic data approach to estimating farm worker exposure. 

A proper evaluation of the farm worker exposure potential to...
