进行了一项9户家庭试点研究，以评价可用于评估6个月至5岁儿童对家庭环境中发现的农药的潜在接触的实地监测方法。几种方法，其中一些是新开发的，在这项研究中，进行了测试，用于测量室内空气中的农药残留，地毯灰尘，室外土壤，和儿童的手。此外，研究人员亦收集有关住户特征、住所内使用及储存的除害剂，以及儿童活动的资料，并在所有九个研究家庭内检测到除害剂。除一户家庭外，在每户家庭的所有样本中都检测到至少一种农药。在30种目标农药中，有23种在研究期间被检测到。最常检测到的农药是毒死蜱、毒死蜱、狄氏剂、七氯和五氯苯酚。在地毯灰尘中发现的杀虫剂数量最多，浓度最高。这些调查的结果将讨论的方法的性能和农药的分布在不同的媒体抽样。
A nine-home pilot study was conducted to evaluate monitoring methods in the field that may be used to assess the potential exposures of children aged 6 months to 5 years to pesticides found in the home environment. Several methods, some of which were newly developed in this study, were tested for measuring pesticide residues in indoor air, carpet dust, outdoor soil, and on the children's hands. Information was also collected on household characteristics, pesticides used and stored at the residence, and children's activities.Pesticides were detected at all nine study homes. With the exception of one home, at least one pesticide was detected in all matrices sampled at each house. Of the 30 target pesticides, 23 were detected during the study. The most frequently detected pesticides were chlordane, chlorpyrifos, dieldrin, heptachlor, and pentachlorophenol. The greatest number of pesticides and highest concentrations were found in carpet dust. The results of these investigations will be discussed in terms of performance of the methods and the distribution of pesticides across the various media sampled.
