Alkyl phosphate residue values in the urine of Florida citrus fieldworkers compared to the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (HANES) sample

This study was designed to monitor citrus fieldworkers during the course of their normal work activity. Urine from 597 fieldworkers employed in the Florida citrus industry as pesticide applicators, mixers, loaders, tractor drivers, scouts, general combination workers (fieldhands), and pickers were m...

Description
Summary:This study was designed to monitor citrus fieldworkers during the course of their normal work activity. Urine from 597 fieldworkers employed in the Florida citrus industry as pesticide applicators, mixers, loaders, tractor drivers, scouts, general combination workers (fieldhands), and pickers were monitored for alkyl phosphate residues. The alkyl phosphate residue mean values found in the fieldworkers were compared to mean values found in the HANES population.
