Abstrakt:	The article presents a study concerning the applicator exposure of mango spraymen in the Philippines to the chemical used in the process known as imidacloprid 1-(6-chloro-3- pyridylmethyl)-N-nitroimidazolidin-2-ylideneamine. The chemical is a newly registered systemic insecticide used for the control of mango leafhoppers in the country. Outer exposure of the workers was assessed through the amount of residues found on the prescribed white cotton outer wear. Imidacloprid residues could not be detected in Tenax adsorbent cartridges used to assess inhalation exposure.
