Worksheet D01b: Direct Spray of a Woman, Assumption of First-Order Absorption [SpillFOAWm01]
Verbal Description: A woman is sprayed over the feet and lower legs (
A) with a field dilution of a specified
concentration (
C). The woman effectively washes - i.e., all of the compound is
removed - after a specified
period of time (
T). The absorbed dose (
D) is calculated from the amount of liquid adhering to the skin (
L), the
first-order dermal absorption rate (
k
a
) and the body weight (
W).

Worksheet D02: Dermal contact with contaminated vegetation by a young woman [VegC_FOA01].
Verbal Description: A woman wearing shorts and a short sleeved shirt is in contact with contaminated
vegetation for 1 hour shortly after application of the compound - i.e. no dissipation or degradation is
considered. The chemical is effectively removed from the surface of the skin - i.e., washing - after 24 hours.

Worksheet D03: Consumption of contaminated fruit, acute exposure scenario [VegAcHHRA01].
Verbal Description: Edible fruit is contaminated by drift (
Dr). A drift of 1 (unity) indicates direct spray. The
individual consumes contaminated fruit shortly after application of the chemical - i.e. no dissipation or
degradation is considered. The concentration of the chemical in fruit (
C)
is estimated from empirical
relationships relating residues on plants to application rate.
