Dermal absorption of pesticides – evaluation of variability and prevention

Abstract
Occupational and household exposure to pesticides occurs during mixing and spraying and in greenhouses during re-entry activities when plants are handled right after pesticide treatment. The dominating route of exposure to pesticides is dermal. This report includes information on risk related to use of pesticides, information on variability and individual susceptibility, information on use of gloves, and discuss potential consequences for regulatory guidelines implemented and used by regulatory agencies.
