| Abstract |
This literature review examines the likely worker exposure in agricultural practice using normal procedures, with reference to the possibilities of oral, dermal and inhalational absorption. At the recommended dilution levels systemic effects do not appear to occur. There may be local effects on skin and mucous membranes due to delayed caustic effects, but paraquat is unlikely to give rise to serious problems when properly used. |
