Which of the following is NOT one of the four types of pesticide exposure?

  1. Ocular

  2. Inhalation

  3. Transdermal

  4. Dermal

The correct answer is: Transdermal

The classification of pesticide exposure typically includes inhalation, ocular, and dermal exposure. Inhalation refers to the entry of pesticides through the respiratory system, while ocular exposure occurs when pesticides come into contact with the eyes. Dermal exposure involves the absorption of pesticides through the skin. Transdermal is not recognized as a distinct category of pesticide exposure. The term transdermal usually refers to the method of delivering substances through the skin, rather than being categorized as a type of exposure. Therefore, among the provided options, transdermal is the one that does not fit as one of the four types of pesticide exposure.
