  • Title: [Permissible dermal exposure dose and safety level for herbicide residues as an occupational hygiene standard for the evaluation of exposure].
    Author: Goedicke HJ, Thiele E, Worseck S.
    Journal: Z Gesamte Hyg; 1990 May; 36(5):248-50. PubMed ID: 2368454.
    Abstract:
    At preparing mixtures for spraying, application of pesticides and entering treated areas workers are subject of potential exposure, more than 90% via skin. The limitation of dermal exposure requires hygiene-toxicological threshold limit values. On the basis of toxicity data from experiments with animals a permissible dermal exposure dose for pesticide residues is determined. For that a safety and a resorption factor are used, which are fixed in dependence on the toxic effects. The permissible dermal exposure dose is the basis of the calculation of a safety value for residues on plant surfaces and reentry time.
