Pesticide use tends to increase during the summer, making it essential to handle and apply these chemicals safely. Following proper guidelines can help reduce risks to both human health and the environment.
1. **Limit the use of highly toxic pesticides**. Whenever possible, opt for medium- or low-toxicity alternatives. Avoid mixing different types of pesticides, as this can lead to increased toxicity and unpredictable effects. When preparing highly toxic products, always dilute them with sufficient water to avoid using high concentrations. Carefully measure the dosage and concentration to ensure safe application.
2. **Follow strict safety procedures**. Always wear protective gear when handling pesticides—such as gloves, masks, long-sleeved clothing, and closed-toe shoes. Never use bottle caps to pour chemicals, and avoid using drinking water containers for this purpose. Do not collect water from wells, rivers, or ponds directly into pesticide drums. Also, never stir liquid pesticides with your hands. While spraying, make sure to cover exposed skin, avoid eating or smoking, and work in a direction opposite to the wind. After spraying, wash your hands thoroughly, take a shower, change clothes, and clean the sprayer properly. Children, pregnant women, and nursing mothers should avoid any contact with pesticides or toxic substances.
3. **Choose the right weather conditions**. The best times to apply pesticides are early in the morning before 9 a.m. or late in the afternoon after 5 p.m. Avoid spraying on hot, windy, rainy, or extremely sunny days, as these conditions can increase the risk of exposure and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.
4. **Be aware of potential emergencies**. During application, pay close attention to how you feel. If you experience symptoms such as dizziness, nausea, shortness of breath, or excessive sweating, stop immediately, leave the area, and move to a well-ventilated space. Remove contaminated clothing and rinse your skin with clean water—avoid using hot water. If symptoms persist or worsen, seek medical attention promptly. In severe cases, take appropriate detoxifying measures or visit a nearby clinic for treatment.
By following these guidelines, pesticide users can significantly reduce the risks associated with their use and contribute to a safer working environment. (And Kikuchi)
