Article Synopsis
- The EU Directive mandates training for pesticide exposure for both workers and residents in member states, focusing on risk perception and self-protective behavior.
- A survey conducted in Greece, Italy, and the UK shows low adoption of protective measures among residents and bystanders, while operators and workers tend to follow safety guidelines more closely.
- Factors like personal health perceptions significantly influence self-protective behavior among operators, with recommendations for better communication strategies aimed at vulnerable groups across different genders and countries.
Personal protective equipment for registration purposes of pesticides.
Commun Agric Appl Biol Sci
June 2008
Regulatory authorities in North America, Europe and Australia use different approaches for the estimation of exposure reduction effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE) in registration processes of agrochemical pesticides. TNO has investigated current views and facts for the use of default values and set up a discussion paper which can be used as a starting point to achieve an internationally harmonised set of PPE protection factors for regulatory use. For inhalation exposure Loading it is proposed to use the assigned protection factors (APF) as deduced by BSI (British Standard Institution) and ANSI (American National Standards Institution).
