Resumen:
The basic factors necessary to effectively study the association between pesticide exposure
and health effects include determination of the population at risk; a valid determination of
exposure; verification of diagnosis, symptom, or biological marker of a health effect among
the populations being studied; methods to link individual exposure to health effects; and the
ability to establish a temporal relationship between the exposure and the health effect
(McCauley, 2006).
The purpose of this chapter is to provide a comprehensive characterization of terrestrial
pesticide applicators in Córdoba province, with the emphasis on the assessment of
occupational exposure. We provide two new methodological tools to estimate the workers?
exposure level, analyze the stochastic behaviours of these measures, and supply the
corresponding scales for assessing exposure risks in the regional agricultural scenarios.
