Preliminary Survey of Factors Affecting the Exposure of Harvesters to Pesticide Residues

&
Pages 374-380
Published online: 04 Jun 2010
 

A survey was conducted in the Central Valley of California among harvesters of grapes, oranges and peaches. A comparison was made among factors which might affect their exposure to pesticide residues, such as the age and sex distribution of work crews, their apparel and work practices as related to foliar contact, and exposure to airborne particulates. Recurring high values of airborne particulates suggest that contaminated dust is the primary vehicle for residue exposure.
