Backpack Application ( 8) CA DPR HS

1769 HS 1769 " Exposure of Hand Applicators to Triclopyr in Forest Settings, 1995 " which was conducted by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation. Ten applicators were monitored for two days for a total of 20 replicates as they applied Garlon using Solo Backpack Sprayers which were filled from a 300 gallon mixing tank. The workers treated an average of 3.2 acres during each 9 hour day with a spray volume of 25 gallons per acre and an application rate of 1.0 lb triclopyr ae per acre. The actual spraying time was 360 minutes per day with the remainder of time spent placing plastic bags over the seedlings at the start of the workday, removing the bags at the end of the day,

pulling hose, lunch/ rest breaks and donning monitoring clothing and equipment. Dermal exposures were monitored using long sleeve t shirt and knee length socks, hand and face/ neck exposures were monitored using Chubbs baby wipes and inhalation exposures were monitored using glass fiber filters.

Appendix B  Page 8 Notes 1. PHED refers to the Pesticide Handler Exposure Database Version 1.1 PHED Surrogate Exposure Guide of August 1998 2. The data grade and confidence categories are assigned as follows:

Grade A data = Lab recovery is 90 to 110 percent with a CV < 15. Field recovery is 70 to 120 percent. Storage stability data are optional.

Grade B data = Lab recovery is 80 to 110 percent with a CV < 25. Field recovery is 50 to 120 percent. Storage stability data are optional.

Grade C data = Lab recovery is 70 to 120 percent with a CV < 33. Field recovery is 30 to 120 percent or is missing. Storage stability data is 50 to 120 percent Grade D data = Lab recovery is 60 to 120 percent with a CV < 33. Field recovery and storage stability data are optional.

Grade E data = Does not meet above criteria.

High Confidence = grade A and B data and 15 or more replicates per body part Medium Confidence = grade A, B, and C data and 15 or more replicates per body part Low Confidence = grade A, B, C, D and E data or any combination of grades with less than 15 replicates.

PHED grading criteria only affect one aspect of the exposure assessment. The other exposure factors should also be considered in the risk management decision.
