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.

Book excerpt: The late twentieth century saw an unprecedented increase in emphasis on protection of the human form. Health and safety at work requires protective textiles for certain jobs and the threat of biological and chemical terrorist attacks is currently a topical issue. The range of hazards and the means of combating them continue to grow and become ever more complex. A consequence of this is the development and exploitation of new textile fibres, structures and clothing systems whose purpose is to provide improved protection, whilst maintaining comfort, efficiency and well being. ?? The first part of Textiles for protection covers materials and design issues. It starts with a chapter explaining legislative and regulative standards for protective textiles. Chapters then go on to comprehensively list the technical fibres and fabrics used, survey the manufacture of yarns and fabrics, explore the emerging field of intelligent textiles and outline the steps required in selecting materials for protective clothing. The factors affecting the design and use of protective clothing are also looked at, with a chapter weighing up fashion against function. Part two deals with general protection requirements and applications. The requirements are considered for protection against: chemicals; ultraviolet radiation; fire and extremes in temperature; microorganisms; electrostatic charges; and ballistic threats. A chapter is also devoted to respiratory protection. The last third of the book is given over to case studies with important chapters on protection for the military and military aviators, fire fighters, workers in the gas and oil industry, motorcyclists and protection against knives and other weapons. ?? Textiles for protection is the fruit of a diverse body of talents, drawing together scientific and technical expertise from around the world, to produce an important source of current knowledge on textile materials and clothing, and their use in the protection of humans in hostile environments. It will be invaluable for all those working in the safety and protective fabrics industry and all concerned in health and safety in a wide variety of industries. It will also be an important work for health and safety workers in the ministry of defence, police and fire service.

Download or read book Pesticide Residue Distribution on Protective Clothing Fabrics as Determined by SEM Micrographs and Their Image Analyses written by SM. Taylor and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 13 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Workers using pesticide are required by federal law to wear personal protective equipment. Thus, understanding the interaction between pesticide and the surface of protective clothing fabrics is necessary to facilitate design of fabrics that meet federal regulations and are cost-effective and comfortable to wear. Six protective clothing fabrics, two woven and four nonwoven, were investigated to determine distribution patterns of pesticide residues on the fabrics. We developed procedures to measure and describe image characteristics of these protective clothing fabrics in their natural state and related those to images with pesticide contamination. Pesticide distribution patterns were different depending on the fabric structure and fiber content. Mainly, pesticide residues crystallized on fiber surfaces except for the 100% cotton woven fabric, in which pesticide was believed to be absorbed into the cotton fibers and thus less amounts of pesticide were shown on the surface. The 100% polyethylene fabric was sheet-like, so pesticide residues spread evenly on the fabric surface. Image analysis of fabric structure with or without pesticide contamination revealed that images darkened with the addition of pesticide; however, images with pesticide contamination darkened differently between the six protective clothing fabrics.

Download or read book Protective Clothing and Application Control for Pesticide Applicators in India written by A. Shaw and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 12 pages. 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.
