| Resumen |
Urinalysis was conducted on two workers involved in spraying 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) sodium salt solution from vehicle mounted equipment in agriculture and on two helicopter crew members applying 2,4-D dimethylamine salt for bush control in forestry. All sprayers showed detectable quantities of 2,4-D in morning urine samples. The highest concentration was measured in the vehicle driver (2.5ppm), while urine levels in the forestry workers were much lower (0.365ppm and 0.052ppm). The calculated amounts excreted seemed to be sufficiently reliable to be used for assessing the risk of human exposure to 2,4-D. |
