The possibility of practical use of the exposure model for hygienic assessment of working conditions in pesticide application is considered. The assessment of inhalation and dermal pesticide exposures on workers has been conducted. On the basis of the differentiated risk assessment preventive measures have been proposed for the decrease of pesticide exposure on workers, depending on the priority ways of entering the body.

Key words: pesticides, working conditions, assessment of hazards, combined effect, preventive measure
