| Abstract | Thirty-three hours of videotape collected in a 1993 pilot study were quantified, via a video translation software application, to obtain left and right hand activity data of four children of farmworkers. Reported here are the children's contact duration and frequency for each object in their environment, duration spent in each location and activity exertion level, and frequency distributions of object contact durations. The pilot study provided valuable information for evaluating and improving videotaping and videotape translation methodologies as a means of gathering activity information that can be used to refine dermal exposure estimates. Although a larger database of children's videotaped activities for different ages and populations is needed before generalizations can be made, the data presented here are the most detailed information to date for children's micro-level dermal activities. |
