Validation of a novel questionnaire for assessing occupational exposure to organophosphate pesticides in Chilean agricultural workers
Agricultural workers in the Maule region are exposed to OP pesticides. The questionnaire shows potential as a screening tool for occupational exposure. These findings highlight the need to reassess the Chilean regulatory limits and refine the tool to enhance risk assessment and intervention planning.
