Construction of TEMPEST - Stage 1
Identify broad categories of pesticide to use
over the seven decades - based on the earlier GEOPARKINSON study data
The Scottish pesticide exposure questionnaires from the
earlier GEOPARKINSON study were reviewed to provide an initial task list for
TEMPEST over the seven decades in question, ie1940s to 2000s. This yielded tasks
in three broad categories of pesticide exposure: hobby (reported by 237 of the
study participants); occupational agricultural (n=62); and occupational amenity
(n=18).
