In this study exposure via inhalation from pesticides use in Greece is examined. Emission data on Active Substances (AS) are used as input to a short range transport model, allowing computation of daily average concentrations. This model takes into account the dynamic variation in emission and physico-chemical properties of AS. Then an exposure model is developed to compute intake from daily average AS concentrations. Intake rates (in mg/kg/day) per AS and crop are calculated, using data on body weight and inhalation rate (stratified by age and gender).
