“…The inhalatory exposure in this study was lower than in the flower bulb study in which the 8 hour TWA exposure ranged from 1.9–18.9 mg/m3 but only 15% of the working days exceeded 8 hours 3. Also the peak exposures (15 mg/m 3 ) were considerably lower than those in the flower bulb study in which peak concentrations up to 110 mg/m 3 were measured 3.…”

“…Also the peak exposures (15 mg/m 3 ) were considerably lower than those in the flower bulb study in which peak concentrations up to 110 mg/m 3 were measured 3. Although the field situation and fumigation procedures in the potato growing region and the flower bulb culture are not completely comparable, the results of this study suggest that the new statutory directions of use are effective in reducing the exposure of the workers.…”

“…In a previous study it was found that the dripping of cis -DCP at the headlands caused high exposure peaks 3. Therefore, an antidrip system seemed to be necessary to prevent these exposure peaks.…”

“…The samples were transported to the laboratory within 24 hours and stored at −20°C until analysis. The DCP was analyzed according to the method described by Brouwer et al 3. In summary, cis -DCP in the personal air samples was desorbed from the charcoal by acetone.…”

“…2 Brouwer et al 3 reported that 8 hour time weighted average (TWA) exposures to cis/trans -DCP ranged from 1.9 to 18.9 mg/m 3 . The Dutch OEL of 5 mg/m 3 (1 ppm) was exceeded during 30% of the observed working days.…”

Objectives-To assess exposure of commercial application workers to the nematocide cis-1,3-dichloropropene (cis-DCP). Methods-The study was conducted during the annual application season, August to 15 November, in the starch potato growing region in The Netherlands. 14 Application workers collected end of shift urine samples on each fumigation day (n=119). The mercapturic acid metabolite N-acetyl-S-(cis-3-chloro-2-propenyl)-Lcysteine (cis-DCP-MA) in urine was used for biological monitoring of the cis-DCP uptake. (Occup Environ Med 2000;57:738-744)

Quantifying the exposure of agricultural workers to pesticides is difficult in the face of the heterogeneity of the pesticides used, the variability in methods of application, and the lack of adequate exposure data. This report describes an attempt to estimate long-term dermal and inhalation exposure of bulb farmers by the development of an exposure index. This proposed exposure index consists of generic levels of exposure specific to the method of application, which were derived from databases as well as from field studies. The index is further determined by farm-related parameters such as acreage and number of pesticide applications ascertained from questionnaire responses. A widely used dithiocarbamate mixture served as a marker compound for exposure to other pesticides. Ranking of 127 bulb farmers according to calculated lifetime dermal exposure correlated only moderately to ranking based on duration of exposure, e.g., years of exposure and farm acreage. This finding indicates that the proposed exposure index could provide a useful estimate of long-term exposure to a mixture of pesticides in epidemiological investigations.
