Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force, L.L.C.
The Agricultural Handler Exposure Task Force, L.L.C. (AHETF) is a consortium of 19 agricultural chemical companies that formed a joint data development task force to design and develop a database on exposure of agricultural workers during the mixing, loading and/or application of pesticides. The exposure data will cover all important types of mixing/loading systems, types of application equipment, and types of formulations. The results will satisfy FIFRA data requirements and be used to assess exposure potential and conduct risk assessments for all pesticide products marketed by AHETF members. AHETF was formed in December, 2001.
