Because residue levels in the environment are relatively high immediately after pesticide application, avoiding contact with residues in the emitted area after the application could help reduce pesticide exposure. However, the safety instructions on pesticide product labels after pesticide application are insufficient. To minimize pesticide exposure and promote integrated pest management, we improved pesticide product labels by introducing recommended safe durations (close windows and doors and stay off lawns after pesticide application), which were proposed using screening models and specific to individual active ingredients. The results showed that children’s exposure to residues in the lawn environment can be reduced by over 30% for many currently used pesticides with a recommended safe duration of 3 d. Rainfall or irrigation events can help reduce exposure to hydrophilic pesticides, and high temperatures can further reduce the exposure because of the enhanced overall dissipation process of pesticides in the lawn environment. Based on the simulations, we improved the pesticide product label by adding recommended safe durations and reducing children’s exposure to residues, providing the effects of weather conditions and irrigation activities on the reduced pesticide exposure, and clarifying the difference between exposure and adverse health risks. The proposed safety instructions can be customized for individual active ingredients and easily understood/followed by consumers, which can help minimize children’s exposure to residues and promote integrated pest management.","PeriodicalId":12,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Health & Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-03-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"917384","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Workshops on Laboratory Safety provide a unique forum for researchers and safety professionals to exchange perspectives and ideas. The theme of this year’s workshop was Advancing Safety in Teaching and Research Laboratories. Speakers emphasized the importance of an enlightened leadership style, the significance of integrating risk assessments into the science curriculum, and the impact of human factors on risk minimization. Furthermore, speakers discussed innovative programs to engage Principal Investigators in organizational safety culture and computational approaches for defining the toxicity of chemical compounds. Panels discussed two topics: student-led safety initiatives and the long-term impact of COVID-19 on academic life, research, and lab safety. Finally, 11 workgroups examined current safety topics over the 3 day course of the workshop culminating in final presentations on their recommendations. This paper summarizes all presentations and lists key resources from each discussion.","PeriodicalId":12,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Health & Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"440397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To manage these hazards, colleges and universities typically maintain Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) programs, but objective models for determining the typical amount of organizational resources dedicated to EHS programs are lacking. Summarized here are a series of iterative modeling efforts based on benchmarking data provided by the members of the Campus Safety, Health, and Environmental Management Association (CSHEMA), combined with publicly available institutional data, to produce a series of predictive models for EHS program resourcing. Linear and multiple regression analysis techniques were utilized to develop the models to estimate industry-average college and university EHS program staffing and expenses. Interestingly, the subset of recurrent key predictors identified through these efforts, such as the total net assignable area (TNASF) and the research laboratory area, includes measures that many EHS professionals do not typically have readily available. Although these models do not address the ultimate outcomes achieved by any EHS program, they can assist decision makers with determining a representative level of staffing and resources needed to support university EHS programs.","PeriodicalId":12,"journal":{"name":"ACS Chemical Health & Safety","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2022-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"469507","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
