This report uses 213 random samples from farmworkers in 24 communities and labor camps in Washington State. It examines the association between occupational task and organophosphate (OP) pesticide residues in dust and OP metabolite concentrations in urine samples of adult farmworkers and their children. This report concludes that future search should evaluate workplace protective practices of fieldworkers and the adequacy of reentry intervals for pesticide used during thinning.
