“…In the first decades of pesticides use, the main problem was the risk of acute intoxication among people who were occupationally exposed. But nowadays, the problem of diseases not directly related to the toxic potential of pesticides, most of which are non-toxic dermatoses, is gaining more and more interest [6,7,8,9]. Most of the dermatoses associated with pesticide application are contact dermatitis, both allergic and irritant.…”

“…Most of the dermatoses associated with pesticide application are contact dermatitis, both allergic and irritant. There are also rare clinical forms, including urticaria, erythema multiforme, ashen dermatosis, parakeratosis multicolor, porphyria cutaneous late, chloracne, skin hypopigmentation, nail, and hair disorders [6,7,8,9]. Farmers exposed to arsenic pesticides are at risk of occupational skin cancer, mainly Bowen's disease (carcinoma in situ), multiple basal cell carcinomas, and squamous cell carcinomas [6,7,8,9].…”

The skin is the most vulnerable organ when spraying pesticides on fields. Farmers are also exposed to pesticides during mixing, loading of pesticides, and when cleaning equipment and disposing of empty containers. The aim. To study and analyze the features of the risk of pesticides dermal exposure to professional contingents during treatments using the innovative 3RIVE 3D pesticide application technology. Materials and methods. The 3RIVE 3D innovative technological system of introducing was used to applicate Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation. Field experiments on the study of working conditions when using the pesticide were conducted in various soil and climatic regions of Eastern Europe. Statistical processing of the results was carried out using a package of licensed statistical programs IBM SPSS StatisticsBase v.22 and MS Excel. Research results and discussion. During the conducted research, no bifenthrin contamination was found on the open skin of the operator and the tractor driver, who were processing corn crops with the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation. However, the operator's gloves were found to contain 0.025 mg of bifenthrin. Calculation of the unitless CASd value on the possibility of skin acute effects when applying the formulation showed that bifenthrin and the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation based on it are characterized by sufficient selectivity of action on the target object (CASd – 645 and 162, respectively, i.e. > 100) and a low level of danger acute dermal toxic effects for workers, which is due to low values of effective consumption rates. The real dermal risk of bifenthrin exposure when using the Brigade 3Rive3D, SC formulation was significantly lower compared to the risk of workers involved in “traditional” air treatment and treatment with unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) (p=0.009-0.048 according to Wilcoxon's W-criterion); in comparison with rod and fan processing – it is non-significantly lower (р=0.262-1.000). There was a similar picture in comparison with the dermal aggravated risk – significantly lower in comparison with the risk of workers involved in “traditional” air treatment and processing with the help of UAVs (p=0.009 according to Wilcoxon's W-criterion); in comparison with rod and fan treatment – non-significantly lower (р=0.262-1.000). Conclusion. It was established that the studied active substance bifenthrin and the Brigade 3Rive 3D, SC formulation based on it are characterized by sufficient selectivity of dermal action on the target object and a low probability of acute dermal effects. A higher probability of acute inhalation poisoning than dermal exposure was revealed.

Many farmers, including Siwalan farmers, are over 50 years old. They climb Siwalan trees, which can reach a height of 15-30 meters, using simple tools. Despite the high risk of injury, they continue to make this work their main job. The research employs a qualitative approach using ethnomethodology methods. Data was collected through in-depth interviews with 10 Siwalan Farmers in Aeng Panas Village, Madura, Indonesia, who are aged between 50 and 65 years. The conceptual framework of work safety culture is used to describe and explain how work safety culture can be identified through the work habits of older farmers. Two key points emerged from the findings: 1) The appreciation of safety values is fostered through strong interactions between farmers and their wives/families, which are characterized by trust, experience, and hope. This interaction cultivates a caring attitude that motivates individuals to prioritize safety and avoid work accidents. Common expressions such as "Be careful!" strengthen the mindset of old farmers. 2). Efforts to recognize and reduce dangers are carried out through work habits that only use simple tools, but they have a strong belief that whatever happens is God's destiny. The findings of this research have contributed to the fact that the construction of work safety culture is oriented towards humanistic rationality, namely awareness that arises from the word "Be careful!". The tradition of love from a wife and family is a strong psychological construct and will ultimately strengthen a work safety culture.
