Assessment of dermal and inhalation exposure to ziner/maneb in the cultivation of flower bulbs / D.H. Brouwer, E.J. Brouwer and J.J. Van Hemmen

Sumario: In bulb farming the use of pesticides for crop protection and bulb disifection is extensive. To estimate long-term occupational exposure to pesticides,generic levels of exposure specific to the method of working were needed. In order to derive these values dermal and inhalation exposure to the fungicide mixture zineb/maneb was assessed for different methods of mixing and loading a wettable powder formulation. Further, dermal exposure was also assessed for two methods of desinfection bulbs. Moreover, the relative importance of dermal and inhalation exposure routes was estimated
