 families living adjacent to aerially sprayed rice fields . Journal: Arch . Environ . Contam . Toxicol . Citation: V : 00 ( 0 ) P : 000-0 Type: ARTICLE Literature: oryza Field: abstract Doc ID: pub00000000 Accession (PMID): 00000000 Matching Sentences: [ Sen. 0, subscore: 0.00 ]: Propanil is widely used as a postemergence herbicide in rice . Because it is typically applied aerially , there is a potential for propanil to drift into and around homes of those living adjacent to rice fields . Propanil has been shown to be immunotoxic in rodent models . The objective of this study was to measure the levels of propanil to which families living adjacent to aerially sprayed rice fields may be exposed . Air levels were sampled by actively and passively collecting propanil in and around the homes of volunteer families living in close proximity to rice fields sprayed with propanil . Homes ranged from 00 m to 000 m from treated rice fields . Sampling was conducted in the home , adjacent to the home ( within 0 m of the home ) , 00 m from the home , and at the edge of the rice field . Concentrations were determined via gas chromatography/mass spectroscopy . [ Sen. 0, subscore: 0.00 ]: Propanil is widely used as a postemergence herbicide in rice .
