A 24060. AbstractFruit growers and workers were surveyed to determine the types of protective clothing and equipment they would wear while mixing and applying Parathion and Captan; their knowledge of pesticide hazard; and the relationships between knowledge of hazard, demographic data, and clothing and equipment choices. The data indicate that the growers and workers often do not wear recommended clothing and equipment when handling pesticides. The majority of the sample would normally wear work shirts and pants for mixing and spraying either pesticide. Nearly 50 percent of the respondents would wear waterproof gloves and respirators when handling Parathion. A statistically significant relationship was found between respondents' knowledge of the relative hazard of Parathion and the use of protective clothing. Growers and workers rating Parathion as "very hazardous" would use more protective clothing and equipment than would those giving Parathion a lower rating. The results suggest that agencies with major responsibilities for training and advising growers and workers on pesticide safety should give greater emphasis to the protective gear needed for pesticides with varying toxicities.

“…Easley [12] and methyl parathion (MeP) [11]. Finley et al [18] also recommended hot water [60~ (140~ based on studies of MeP, toxaphene, and diehlorodiphenyltriehloroethane (DDT). Easter [13] found Guthion and eaptan removal to increase with temperature; however, Lillie et al [19] found removal of chlordane to be inversely related to water temperature.…”

“…Chlordane was the most difficult to remove of the chemicals tested, with approximately 90% removal after a single laundering. Finley et al [18] have shown that pesticide soil removal is more difficult for fabrics contaminated with different pesticides and washed in the same wash load. The Livingston study [20] was done with all the contaminated fabrics laundered together.…”

Effect of Laundering Procedures and Functional Finishes on Removal of Insecticides Selected from Three Chemical Classes

Performance of Protective Clothing

Eleven pesticides from three chemical classes were chosen for comparison of residues after laundering. Pesticide was introduced to the fabric surface of one of three fabrics—unfinished (UN), renewable consumer applied fluorocarbon finished (RF), and commercially applied fluorocarbon finished (CM) fabric. The fabrics were laundered using one of three laundry treatments—a heavy-duty liquid detergent (HDL) alone, an HDL with a prewash spray, and an HDL with an agriculturally marketed pretreatment. Gas chromatographic analysis showed that the fluorocarbon-finished fabrics absorbed only 10% of the pesticide absorbed by the UN fabrics. Residues after laundering were significantly different both among and within classes. Although both fluorocarbon finishes reduced absorption of pesticide, they did not facilitate removal of the contaminant through laundering. Laundry additives significantly aided residue reduction.

This field study determined the patterns of pesticide deposition on garments worn by subjects spraying pesticides under typical use conditions. Fluorescein dye was added to the air‐blast sprayer for ultraviolet visual analysis and color‐ metric analytical techniques. Both analyses revealed highest areas of deposition to be: the head, front and back upper torso, and front upper legs. Results were compared with previous research defining pesticide absorption rates of different body sites. Specifications for garment design and applicator dressing were de termined. The methodology provides a technique for impact analysis of other functional apparel design problems.
