Abstract

Based on results of pesticides tests in natural conditions, the authors evaluated risk for operators working with acetochlorine pesticides according to expsure and absorbed dose, defined preparations with exposure risk more than the allowable one. The article presents data on specific formation of exposure to acetochlorine on operator's skin in real conditions of agricultural production. Findings are that the most intensive skin pollution with the substance is seen in first 20 minutes of work with pesticide. Formation of exposure levels of pesticides on skin and in workplace air depends on many environmental factors, work time, equipment used and preparation form contents.
