1 2,4-D measured as a urinary biomarker for 2,4-D.
2 TCPy measured as a urinary biomarker for chlorpyrifos.
3 P values from two-way analysis of variance using (independent variables: glove use and application method).
Abbreviations: AM = arithmetic mean; CR = chemically-resistant; GM = geometric mean; GSD = geometric standard deviation; N = number of application days monitored.
