What factor determines the rate of absorption of pesticides through the skin?

  1. Amount of sweat produced

  2. Temperature of the skin

  3. Type of pesticide

  4. Area contacted and duration of contact

The correct answer is: Area contacted and duration of contact

Each of the other options play a role in the absorption of pesticides through the skin, but the most significant factor is the area contacted and duration of contact. While sweat production and skin temperature can affect the skin's permeability, they are not the primary determinants of absorption rate. Similarly, different types of pesticides may have varying levels of skin penetration, but the key factor is still the amount of pesticide that comes into direct contact with the skin and the length of time it remains in contact. Therefore, D is the most accurate answer.
