Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Measurements in the United Kingdom of the exposure of operators to pesticide sprays were used to indicate the performance required of protective clothing. Laboratory tests, designed to simulate maximum levels of contamination, as far as practicable, were then applied to protective clothing materials and finished items to facilitate the development of national and international standards of performance. Studies of the relative efficiencies of protective garments in field spraying operations were also undertaken to assess the value of laboratory test data for the selection of effective spray suits.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Use of protective clothing while applying pesticides to crops is considered a deterrent to dermal exposure. A design for a protective garment and hood for fruit orchard workers was developed at Utah State University. The prototype was manufactured in Gore-Tex, Saranex-laminated Tyvek, and an experimental composite structure. Workers wore all garments and personal work clothing in a field setting. After wearing the prototype on the job for an average 2-h period, fruit orchard workers evaluated the garment for functional designing qualities, sizing, and styling features. The protective suit was favorably rated. The hood design was found to be inadequate. Specifications for the garment needed length adjustment in the sleeve area and additional ease through shoulders. The hood design needs complete revision. The prototype evaluation suggested that desirable styling features and appropriate sizing characteristics definitely increase wearability potential of protective garments.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Risk assessments associated with the handling and spraying of pesticides are based on both exposure and toxicological data. The quality of this assessment depends, to a large degree, on the circumstances at the time of worker exposure. Therefore, in addition to field exposure measurements, it is important to develop both predictive methods for estimating worker exposures and for establishing the causal relationships between exposure and adverse health effects. Using data derived from both approaches, it is possible to estimate the degree of risk associated with various pesticide application scenarios and make recommendations for appropriate protective clothing. Actual field measurements can be used to test the suitability and effectiveness of protective clothing requirements. In this report, we describe the use of two protective clothing indicators: the penetration rate and water vapor permeability with respect to thermal comfort.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) is usually required for pesticide applications, but how effective it actually is against exposure to chlorpyrifos, solvents and oils is unknown. Therefore, a pilot study has been created to get a more accurate estimate of whether or not there is pesticide breakthrough while wearing a half mask respirator and 15 mil nitrile gloves and if so, when that breakthrough occurs. An ambient sampling train and a sampling train behind a cartridge were created to compare the air concentrations in respirators, and positioned near the applicator during pesticide application. Passive media patches were placed underneath gloves to measure dermal exposure. Charcoal media was used to sample for horticultural oil, and PUF media was used to sample for chlorpyrifos. Two sites were sampled; chlorpyrifos and horticultural oil was sprayed at Site A and only horticultural oil was sprayed at site B. Media was changed out once a day. The sampling media was tested for hydrocarbons, alkanes, aromatics, chlorpyrifos, chlorpyrifos oxon, pentadecane, siloxanes and trimethyl benzene. The concentrations of the compounds were measured, and the frequency of breakthrough was calculated for each kind of media. A mass-to-mass ratio, comparing the ambient concentrations from the cartridge concentrations, was also calculated. The results show that the PPE that is worn is not providing adequate protection from the pesticides that are being sprayed, but more study is needed to elaborate on these results.

This book was released on 2018-09-03 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The understanding that some pesticides are more hazardous than others is well established. Recognition of this is reflected by the World Health Organization (WHO) Recommended Classification of Pesticides by Hazard, which was first published in 1975. The document classifies pesticides in one of five hazard classes according to their acute toxicity. In 2002, the Globally Harmonized System of Classification and Labelling of Chemicals (GHS) was introduced, which in addition to acute toxicity also provides classification of chemicals according to their chronic health hazards and environmental hazards.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objectives of the study were to determine the effectiveness of a) water-repellent cotton garments and b) constant flow valve (CFV) in reducing pesticide exposure of applicators using knapsack sprayers. Fluorochemical finish was applied to cotton fabrics suitable for a) pants and shirt and b) kurta and pajama (traditional garment worn by males in India). Based on the pre-study results, a modified pants and shirt design was selected for the field trials. Eight pesticide applicators wore garments with and without finish during two spraying sessions. Field-strength chlorpyrifos was applied to red gram crop using a) knapsack sprayer and b) knapsack sprayer retrofitted with a CFV. A cotton knit collector layer was worn under the garments to assess the penetration of the pesticide through the fabric. The cotton garments and knit collector layers were extracted in acetone and analyzed using gas chromatography. Results indicate that cotton twill fabrics with the finish were more effective in reducing the amount of chlorpyrifos absorbed by the cover garment as well as the amount that penetrated through the garment when spills occurred. CFV was effective in reducing pesticide exposure of applicators using knapsack sprayers.
