TI  - Operator exposure when applying amenity herbicides by all-terrain vehicles and 
      controlled droplet applicators.
PG  - 25-32
AB  - A total of 33 surveys of amenity herbicides took place during 1998-1999. These 
      surveys concentrated on two application methods: all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) and 
      controlled droplet applicators (CDAs). The purpose of these surveys was to 
      measure surface deposition and potential inhalation exposure of the operators to 
      the spray fluid used. This paper recommends that the following indicative values 
      should inform risk assessments for these types of application. ATV: The potential 
      dermal exposure (PDE) to spray fluid (21 sample sets) ranged between 0.7 and 6.8 
      ml/h of spray fluid, median 2.0 ml/h based on patch samplers. Exposure to the 
      hands, as collected on cotton gloves, ranged between 0.6 and 13.6 ml/h, median 
      3.0 ml/h. Potential exposure to spray fluid by inhalation was found in 85% of the 
      samples, range 7-37 mg/m(3), median of non-zero values at 16 mg/m(3). CDA: The 
      PDE to spray fluid (12 sample sets) ranged between 0.003 and 0.826 ml/h of fluid, 
      median 0.133 ml/h, based on patch samplers. Exposure to the hands, as collected 
      on cotton gloves inside protective gloves, ranged up to 0.06 ml/h, median 0.004 
      ml/h, and on socks ranged up to 0.05 ml/h, median 0.001 ml/h. Potential exposure 
      by inhalation was low: detected in just 33% of the samples, range 0.02-0.61 
      mg/m(3), median 0.12 mg/m(3).
