Pesticide reentry problems and relationships to CSEPP
- Environmental Protection Agency, Washington, DC (United States)
Federal and state agencies have almost 50 years experience with the {open_quotes}Reentry Problem{close_quotes} which is the toxic effects to fieldworkers caused by exposure to pesticide residues applied to agricultural areas. The most common means to avoid these effects is to establish {open_quotes}Reentry Intervals{close_quotes}. Unfortunately, such an interval is not feasible if a chemical warfare agent is inadvertently released. Use of a {open_quotes}Reentry Level{close_quotes} is preferred for such a case. This use requires that an analytical method be established that will be fast, specific, and sensitive. Ideally, it could be used on-site in the field. An enzyme linked immuno specific assay or a similar procedure may be the best solution to these limitations.
