Potential Exposure of Amateurs (Consumers) through Painting Wood Preservative and Antifoulant Preparations

摘要

Data are presented for work patterns, inhalation and potential dermal exposure for amateurs painting wood preservatives to garden structures, and antifoulants to leisure boats. The results are quoted as rates of in-use product deposition or time-weighted inhaled product concentrations. Quoting data in this general and normalized form enables predictive risk assessment. The product densities were assumed to be 1.0 g ml~-1.
