Indoor Air Exposure to Multiple Agricultural Pesticides Potentially Posing the Highest Risk to Young Children by Sithembiso Sifiso Msibi, Chung-Yu Chen, Cheng-Ping Chang, Chiou-Jong Chen, Su-Yin Chiang, Kuen-Yuh Wu

“…This case study assessed such exposure and its risks by sampling and analyzing the air inside the homes of 15 pesticide applicators and 12 non-applicators in Swazi communities surrounded by nearby (~200 m) sugarcane fields on pesticide spraying days. Applying liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) to the samples revealed mean ametryn, atrazine, pendimethalin and 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) concentrations of 0.75, 0.32, 0.57 and 0.004 µg m−3, respectively, in the applicator households and corresponding values of 0.19, 0.03, 0.04 and 0.003 µg m−3, respectively, in the non-applicator households. …”
