Resumen |
The particle size distribution of a dust-type pesticide was determined in order to estimate the amount of particles which would be inhaled into the lung or deposited on the walls of the respiratory tract of farmers during spraying. The distribution curve showed a peak value in the range <2µm, and particles <10µm diameter accounted for 87% of the whole. Large amounts of dust of this size can be inhaled into the respiratory tract, and a considerable amount would enter the lung during dusting with powered sprayers. |
