Cleaning Protective Apparel to Reduce Pesticide Exposure

  • Chapter
Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology

Part of the book series: Reviews of Environmental Contamination and Toxicology ((RECT,volume 101))

Abstract

Each year 1.04 billion kg of pesticides are used to control insects, weeds, fungi, and other pests in the United States (Wasserstrom and Wiles 1985). Human pesticide exposure continues to be a problem for those who use these chemical tools. The three routes of pesticide entry into the human body are respiratory, dermal, and oral. Dermal absorption has been shown to account for 87% of the total human pesticide exposure (Wolfe 1973; Gold et al. 1982; Maibach et al. 1971). Dermal exposure involves the absorption of toxic chemicals through the skin where they are disseminated throughout the body via the blood (Niles 1985).
