| Abstract |
Studies on the measurement of dislogeable and available foliar dust in 32 citrus groves are reported. Dislogeable dust means surface or water-soluble residues; available dust is the most loosely adhering portion of the surface residues. Available foliar dust is a good predictor of total dust aerosols. Differences in foliar residue, airborne dust, and dermal pesticide measurements appear to be due to the wide range of particle sizes found (<1to>200µm). The airborne dust levels to which citrus harvesters are exposed in the dry season are generally above those permitted in other industries. |
