Potential dermal exposure measurements of horticultural and floricultural field operators that handled concentrated pesticides showed a correlation with the types of formulations used (liquid or solid) during the mix and load stage. For liquid formulations, hand exposure was 22-62 times greater than that for solid ones. The dermal exposure mechanism was studied for this formulation under laboratory conditions, finding that the rupture of the aluminum seal of the pesticide container and the color of the liquid formulation are important factors. Additionally, significant external surface contamination of pesticide containers collected at horticultural farms was found. This could partially account for the differences between the exposure levels of field and laboratory experiments for liquid formulations.
园艺和花卉种植场操作人员在混合和装料阶段接触浓缩农药时,其皮肤潜在暴露量的测量结果与所使用的制剂类型(液体或固体)有关。对于液体制剂,手部暴露量是固体制剂的 22-62 倍。在实验室条件下研究了这种制剂的皮肤暴露机制,发现农药容器的铝密封件破裂和液体制剂的颜色是重要因素。此外,在园艺农场收集的农药容器发现了明显的外部表面污染。这部分可以解释液体制剂田间和实验室实验中暴露水平的差异。
