| Abstract |
Atmospheric analyses in glass houses revealed concentrations of 480µg/m3 of methidation (M) - the active ingredient of ultracid and 1,741 µg/m3 of omethoate (O) - the active ingredient of Folimat in the breathing zone of gardeners, and concentrations of 25 and 236µg/m3 of M and 2,321 and 1,161µg/m3 of O in glass house atmospheres during pesticide application. One hour after treatment, the glass house air still contained 10 and 97µg/m3 of M and 625 and 309µg/m3 of O; after 24h, the M and O concentrations had fallen to 3µg/m3 and 10µg/m3 respectively. The M and O concentrations on plant surfaces an in the top layer of soil were between 20 and 270µg/g of plant or soil 1h after pesticide application; these concentrations had fallen by 93 and 75% respectively after 6 days and by 99 and 94% after 16 days. Women gathering carnations 2 months after they had been treated with O were found to have 502µg of O on their hands. After washing the hands with soap and water, 12-20% of this residue still remained. |
