Infos

This timely publication concentrates on the exposure to pesticides by agricultural workers and residential users of pesticides through inhalation and physical contact. The book discusses more recently discovered risks such as pesticides on indoor carpets and includes new trends in data interpretation. Occupational & Residential Exposure Assessment for Pesticides complements the other title on pesticide exposure in the series - Pesticide Residues in Drinking Water, by Hamilton/Crossley and is a must for all professionals in the Pesticide Industry as well as academics.

Rezensionen

"...will be useful to readers who need to understand exposure
science and...to conduct pesticide (and other chemical) risk
assessment...can also be used as a textbook..."
(E-STREAMS, September 2006)

"Before writing this review, I lent my copy of the book to a few
close colleagues, some of whom work specifically in the field of
operator risk assessment. Most of them ordered their own copies
straight away - I think this speaks for itself." (BTS
Newsletter, Summer 200

"...what impresses me about this publication is the quality and
eminence of the authors and the detail of knowledge that they
impart..." (Health & Safety at Work, 1st October
