There is a limited published literature on exposure in turf pesticide applicators. As with other pesticide exposed workers, skin deposition appears to be the most important route of exposure. Although deposition on the hands remains important, there is a consistency of evidence that in these workers the majority of body surface deposition may occur on the lower body. Therefore protective clothing in addition to gloves, particularly covering the feet, legs, and abdomen, may be especially important in this group. Type of spray nozzle may also be an important factor modifying applicator exposure, with wide-angle nozzles causing greater exposure to the operator.
