Relatively few studies have been made of the exposure of workers to pesticides. Of these, approximately half involved chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticides, and most involved agricultural applications. Some important matters, especially indoor spraying-e.g., for malaria control-have been investigated experimentally with DDT only. Fortunately, information on exposure during agricultural use-which is of considerable interest in itself-can serve as a rough guide in connexion with the exposures associated with vector-control activities. This paper reviews the different methods of measuring exposure and the significance of some of the results that have been obtained.
相对而言，人们对工人接触农药的情况研究甚少。其中，约有一半涉及氯化烃类杀虫剂，而且多数涉及农业应用。一些重要的事项，特别是室内喷洒，例如用于疟疾控制，仅用滴滴涕进行了实验性研究。幸运的是，在农业应用中接触滴滴涕的信息本身就很有趣，可作为与病媒控制活动有关的接触情况的粗略指南。本文综述了不同的暴露测量方法，以及已获得的部分结果的意义。
