When should the PPE that you wear when applying pesticides be laundered?
Wash after several uses
Wash as soon as possible, do not let clothes sit around
Do not wash, dispose after one use
Wash only if heavily contaminated
The correct answer is: Wash as soon as possible, do not let clothes sit around
The most suitable time to launder PPE worn during pesticide application is as soon as possible, and not allow the clothes to sit around. This is because pesticides can still be active on the clothes even after use, which may be potentially harmful for the wearer and those around them. Option A, washing after several uses, may not be effective in removing all traces of pesticide. Option C, disposing after one use, may be a waste of resources and not environmentally friendly. Option D, washing only if heavily contaminated, may not be enough to completely remove all traces of pesticide. Therefore, option B is the most effective and appropriate choice for laundering PPE used during pesticide application.
