Abstract
This communication is presented with two objectives in mind. The first objective is to provide an introduction to personnel monitoring of occupational exposure to pesticides for those who are not familiar with this field of investigation. The second objective is to stimulate discussion, which will result in the formation of recommendations for research necessary for material improvement of exposure assessment.
