Abstract |
Concepts and current methods of determining worker reentry times are reviewed. Comparison of human monitoring studies, factors affecting exposure, and exposure estimation methods illustrate the advantages of estimation methods. Models should be accurate, field tested, and simple to use. The model should account for the production and description of the toxic metabolites from organophosphate pesticides. A systematic approach to the worker reentry situation is urged. |
