Ground Deposition and Airborne Spray Drift Assessment in Vineyard and Orchard: The Influence of Environmental Variables and Sprayer Settings
Spray drift assessment encompasses classification of the capacity of each sprayer/ technology/setting combination to reduce or avoid the spray drift risk, as well as drift measurement to define buffer zones mandated during pesticide application. Compounding the challenge of these tasks is the great variability of field evaluation results from environmental conditions, spray application technolo...
متن کاملEye-Safe Lidar System for Pesticide Spray Drift Measurement
Spray drift is one of the main sources of pesticide contamination. For this reason, an accurate understanding of this phenomenon is necessary in order to limit its effects. Nowadays, spray drift is usually studied by using in situ collectors which only allow time-integrated sampling of specific points of the pesticide clouds. Previous research has demonstrated that the light detection and rangi...
متن کاملAcute Pesticide Illnesses Associated with Off-Target Pesticide Drift from Agricultural Applications: 11 States, 1998–2006
BACKGROUND Pesticides are widely used in agriculture, and off-target pesticide drift exposes workers and the public to harmful chemicals. OBJECTIVE We estimated the incidence of acute illnesses from pesticide drift from outdoor agricultural applications and characterized drift exposure and illnesses. METHODS Data were obtained from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health's...
متن کاملCatch the drift. Assessing risk from pesticide spraying.
Sins of the Father ParentalSmoking and Childhood Cancer Exposure to passive (or environmental) tobacco smoke has been implicated in numerous childhood ailments ranging from low birth weight to middle ear disease. Passive smoke has also been suspected, but not proven, to increase the risk of childhood cancer. Clarifying this issue is crucial not only for the protection of children's health but a...
متن کاملDeterminants of dermal exposure among Nicaraguan subsistence farmers during pesticide applications with backpack sprayers.
OBJECTIVES Identification of pesticide exposure determinants has become an issue in explaining exposure variability and improving control measures. Most studies have been conducted in industrialized countries. The aim of this study was to identify relevant dermal exposure determinants among Nicaraguan subsistence farmers. METHODS Field data on possible determinants were collected during 32 pe...
