| Abstract |
Exposure to disinfectants was assessed for 40 workers using various methods of application in different occupational settings. Exposure estimates for each type of application are tabulated. The primary route of exposure was by skin deposition; airborne levels were low. Dermal dose rates for aerosol spray, wipe and mop applications were low compared with liquid pour and pump methods, but longer application times for wipe and mop methods resulted in higher total doses. High-pressure sprayers received the highest exposure outside their clothing, but heavy protective clothing reduced dermal dose rates. Low-pressure sprayers with no protective clothing had the highest dose rates. |
