TI  - Risk assessment of human exposure to cypermethrin during treatment of mandarin 
      fields.
PG  - 437-42
AB  - The potential dermal and respiratory exposure assessment and risk assessment for 
      applicator were performed with cypermethrin EC. The pesticide was applied on a 
      mandarin field using a power sprayer. Gloves were used for the hand exposure 
      assessment, mask for face, and dermal patches for the other parts of the body. 
      Personal air monitor equipped with a XAD-2 resin was used for the respiratory 
      exposure assessment. During the application of cypermethrin in the field, the 
      rate of potential dermal exposure ranged from 28.1 to 58.8 mg/h. The major 
      exposure parts were upper-arms (22.1-24.6%) and legs (thigh and shin, 28.3-29.2%) 
      for females and thigh (21.0-46.9%) and hand (14.9-19.3%) for males. Females were 
      exposed more than males. No exposure was detected from the respiratory 
      monitoring. For risk assessment, the potential dermal exposure (PDE), the 
      absorbable quantity of exposure (AQE), and the margin of safety (MOS) were 
      calculated. Among those four risk assessments, MOS was < 1 in only trial I, which 
      indicated any possibility of risk. However, in the others, the possibility of 
      risk was little. Moreover, the safe work time ranged from 3.61 h to 9.69 h.
