• Description:
  Practical Solutions for Pesticide Safety is a collection of solutions and ideas identified on farms and reviewed and developed in a partnership with farmers, educators, and researchers in Washington state. We hope you try these solutions in your region and on your farm, and that these ideas inspire you to develop your own safety solutions. We would greatly appreciate hearing about any solutions you develop and your experience with this guide. Please call us (PNASH (800) 330-0827) or send an email (pnash@uw.edu). Many of the solutions in this guide may be used or adapted for a variety of crop systems. Most solutions originate from farms that use airblast sprayers for applying agricultural chemicals to tree fruit, hops, and grapes. They were selected to be practical and to protect those most at risk - pesticide handlers and their families. Read about why farmers came up with each idea and the science behind them. You will find pictures, illustrations, and instructions to assist you in making and adopting these solutions. We've also included tips and resources and additional information sources are listed in the back. We wish to thank the many people that contributed to this guide. This is as much your guide as PNASH's. We appreciate your time, honest practical advice, and your commitment to a safe workplace and healthy community. [Description provided by NIOSH]
