Dislodgeable foliar residues are lognormally distributed for agricultural re-entry studies.

The Agricultural Reentry Task Force (ARTF) conducted a study to determine if dislodgeable foliar residues (DFR) are either normally or lognormally distributed. This is important because the data are used with worker exposure data, which generally appear to be lognormally distributed, to calculate transfer coefficients that will be used to assess farm worker re-entry exposure. Two chemicals were used for this study.
