Popis:	Farming without spraying pesticides is unheard of, unless it is organic farming. Pesticide residues are reported to cause health hazards to many farmers globally. Hence the present study aims at studying the effectiveness of protective clothes while spraying pesticides. The protective clothing ensemble includes scarf/cap (head cover), glasses (eye cover), mask (mouth cover), gloves (hands cover), shirt (body cover), pant (legs cover) and boots (feet cover). The results of three year data shows that 80% of the people have encountered health problems caused due to spraying when protective aids but the same was reduced after usage of protective clothing. All the subjects were of the opinion that the protective clothing was comfortable to use, suitable to the farming operations and was durable as well.
