Costa Rica exports a wide variety of agricultural products such as chayote, palm hearts, flowers and ferns. Different methods are used for pest control, including chemical based pesticides, even though they could be damaging the farmer’s health. This exploratory study, aimed to compare, in a sample of farmers from each of these crops, three different techniques for dermal exposure assessment: the algorithm quantitative approach method (AQAM), fluorescent tracer and dermal patches. From the algorithmic the intensity levels of exposure were obtained, with fluorescent tracer technique (FTT), deposition of pesticides on workers skin was estimated during application and with absorbent patches the amount of selected pesticides was quantified acc...
