Occupational and environmental hygiene assessment of fumigations with methyl bromide / Michel P. Guillemin, Richard S. Hillier and Claude A. Bernhard

Sumario: Use of methyl bromide for pest control fumigation may result in adverse exposure to three populations: the actual fumigators; other workers non actually involved in the fumigation; and the general public in the vicinity. The risk of exposure of these three target populations in Switzerland was investigated. The methodology was a combination of occupational hygiene surveys, including a preliminary hazard analysis, with a comprehensive assessment of the safety and health systems in use based on the Mangement Oversight and Risk Tree (MORT) method
