NIOSH investigators are planning to conduct a study of the effectiveness of hand-washing procedures in removing pesticides from the hands of agricultural workers. The pilot for this investigation, currently scheduled for 8/98, will require biological monitoring of the workers for their exposures to chlorpyrifos, malathion and acephate. Urinary metabolites specific to the pesticides will be used. This procurement is for the required urinalyses. To allow adequate time for planning the full-scale field investigation for the summer of 1999, the investigators require all of the analytical results by 11/30/98, at the latest. All responsible sources may submit a quote which will be considered by the agency.***** (0131)
