Question
2. An 84 kg University of Toledo groundskeeper who is spraying a 100 mg/L solution of the
insecticide dieldrin (MW = 381; logP = 4.56) on some trees exposes 100 cm“ of his skin to the
solution over a 4 hr period. Dieldrin has a half-life of about 6 months, a volume of distribution of
about 40 L/kg, and a dermal permeability of about 3 x 10° cm/sec.
(a) Estimate the absorption rate during the exposure period assuming the blood concentration is
much lower than the skin concentration (i.e., take the blood level to be zero in the skin
absorption equation).
(b) Estimate how it takes after exposure begins for the groundskeeper's plasma dieldrin levels to
reach 1 ng/L.
(c) Estimate the maximum plasma dieldrin concentration in ng/L that will occur in this
groundskeeper due to this exposure.
(d) Estimate how long it will take after exposure ends for the groundskeeper's plasma dieldrin
levels to drop back down to 1 ng/L.
