Description:Abstract:\n\nThe extensive global use of pesticides in agricult
 ure has raised significant concerns about potential health hazards. One ma
 jor concern is the \"take-home pathway\" of exposure\, where agricultural 
 workers inadvertently introduce pesticide residues into their homes throug
 h their skin\, shoes\, and clothing\, potentially endangering their famili
 es\, especially children. This presentation covers current methods for det
 ecting pesticides within residential settings\, which are often costly\, t
 ime-intensive\, and require specialized expertise. Additionally\, it explo
 res the application of microfluidics with colorimetric detection as an alt
 ernative approach\, providing simple\, affordable\, and user-friendly devi
 ces for at-home monitoring. 4:00 pm
