Determining the Probability of Pesticide Exposures Among Migrant Farmworkers: Results From a Feasibility Study

Author: Ward, Mary H., Ph.D.; Prince, Jacqueline R., M.P.H., Ph.D.
Date Published: 2001


This study attempts to determine the feasibility of identifying probable pesticide exposures based on work histories. Researchers conclude that identifying probable pesticide exposures is feasible in some locations. However, the lack of pesticide use data before the 1990s for many crops will limit the quality of historic exposure assessment for most workers.
