A simple regression model is presented for predicting the transfer of residual foliar applied pesticide to the body of a Florida citrus harvester. This model is dependent on work rate and residue concentration and agrees with an earlier model derived from similar data taken from a California study. This suggests that observed regional differences in the morbidity of harvesters in treated fields may be due to regional differences in foliar pesticide residue levels rather than regional differences in transport mechanisms of pesticide from foliage to worker. Eventual metabolite output in worker urine is also predicted.
提出了一个简单的回归模型，用于预测佛罗里达柑橘采摘工人身上残留的叶面施用农药的转移情况。该模型取决于工作速率和残留浓度，并且与早期基于加利福尼亚研究的类似数据得出的模型一致。这表明，在施药田地中观察到的采摘工人发病率的区域差异，可能是由于叶面农药残留水平的区域差异，而非农药从叶子转移到工人身上的运输机制的区域差异。还预测了工人尿液中最终代谢物的排出量。
