The Need for Appropriate Use Information to Refine Pesticide user Exposure Assessments

摘要

Risk assessment compares hazard information with an exposure assessment (Report of the OECD workshop, 1995). To characterise the risk data on the level, duration and frequency Of exposure are required. This paper illustrates how, in the absence of specific usage data, Structural and other data may be used to provide some estimates of daily work rates. The Usefulness of detailed pesticide usage data to refine the exposure assessment is also shown.
