TI  - Analytical method for assessing potential dermal exposure to captan, using whole 
      body dosimetry, in small vegetable production units in Argentina.
PG  - 811-8
AB  - An analytical method has been developed that can be used to determine the 
      potential dermal exposure (PDE) of workers to the pesticide captan in small-scale 
      horticultural production units. The methodology is based on the whole body 
      dosimetry technique, using a cotton coverall and cotton gloves as sampling media, 
      with protective clothing worn beneath the cotton media to protect the operator. 
      The quantitative determination of captan was done by gas chromatography-electron 
      capture detector (GC-ECD), with the analytical method validated by measuring 
      limits of detection and quantification, linear ranges, sample recovery and 
      precision. Special emphasis is placed on factors that affected the stability of 
      captan during chromatographic determination. The data generated for potential 
      dermal exposure are presented separately for mixing/loading and application 
      activities. These data are compared with values obtained with visible tracers 
      using a similar field technique. Margin of safety (MOS) values are also 
      calculated for the agricultural procedures studied.
