Determinants of Dermal Exposure among Nicaraguan Subsistence Farmers during Pesticide Applications with Backpack Sprayers
TL;DR: This study showed that a combination of observation and visual scoring techniques can provide valuable information on determinants of pesticide exposure and affected body parts under developing country conditions.

Aurora Aragón,Luis E. Blanco,Aura Funez,Clemens Ruepert,Carola Lidén,Gun Nise,Catharina Wesseling +6 more
TL;DR: The visual score, as modified by us, provides information on the body segments most contributing to dermal exposure and degree of skin contamination during pesticide applications and is low-cost and practical for developing countries.
Reliability of a visual scoring system with fluorescent tracers to assess dermal pesticide exposure.
TL;DR: Inter-rater reliability coefficients indicate repeatability of the scoring system, however, field conditions for recording fluorescence should be improved to achieve higher quality images, and training should emphasize a better mechanism for the reading of body areas with low contamination.
