Opis

Written by experts in the field, this textbook examines the principles and applications of techniques used in monitoring pesticide disposition following application and in the assessment of human exposure. It approaches pesticide exposure systematically, examining both occupational and bystander exposure. Some aspects of exposure which are addressed include: aerial transport with on- and off-target loss of material; transferable or dislodgeable residues from surfaces; biomonitoring of systemating absorbed residues; epidermal desposition and absorption through the skin; and the assessment of adverse health effects including neurological and neurobehavioural endpoints of toxicity. Gaining insight into exposure characterization/assessment, the reader will be able to design experiments that monitor biological effects of exposure, develop regulatory guidelines for application practices, or protect human health.
