What pesticide use practices determine exposure?
The amount of pesticide applied and the area of application are important in determining exposure. Pesticides that are applied infrequently or in small quantities to a limited area in a remote location are less likely to result in significant human exposure, and visa versa. In populated areas, notification of pesticide application should reduce the chance of inadvertent exposure by the general public.
