Sampling Methods: Sample Types

Sampling Methods: Sample Types

Sampling materials are classified into three main types: solid, liquid, and gas.
Solid samples include a variety of substances, such as sediments from water bodies, soil, metals, and biological tissues. Two standard methods for extracting sediments from water bodies are grab sampling and piston coring. Grab sampling involves using a device to collect a discrete sediment sample from the bottom of a water body with minimal disturbance. Grab samples do not always represent the entire area due to...

Area of Science:

Agricultural Science
Environmental Health
Toxicology

Background:

Pesticide exposure is a significant risk for crop harvesting workers, primarily through hand contact.
Latex rubber gloves worn for protection accumulate pesticide residues, presenting an opportunity for exposure assessment.

Purpose of the Study:

To characterize latex rubber gloves' properties for pesticide residue accumulation.
To evaluate the effectiveness of gloves as residue monitoring devices for pesticide exposure assessments.

Main Methods:

Controlled field studies using latex rubber gloves and a novel Brinkman Contact Transfer Unit (BCTU) device.
Measurement of transferable pesticide residues on gloves over time.
Comparison of glove residue data with standard California (CA) Roller sampling methods.

Main Results:

High correlations (R² = 0.84 for malathion, 0.96 for fenpropathrin) were observed between glove residue data and the CA Roller method.
The BCTU proved to be a reliable tool for studying residue transfer to latex gloves under experimental conditions.
Latex gloves demonstrated effectiveness as sampling dosimeters for pesticide residues.

Conclusions:

Latex rubber gloves are validated as useful, quantifiable matrices for measuring pesticide exposure in agricultural workers.
The findings support the use of worker-worn gloves for pesticide exposure assessments, enhancing safety protocols.
