Periodically test your gloves for leaks by filling them with water and squeezing. Tuck shirt sleeves inside gloves and fold the glove ends over to form a cup that will catch any liquid running down your arm. But, when working with hands and arms overhead, sleeves should be tucked into the gloves with the cuff of the gloves turned up to catch any material that might run down the gloves. Wash off chemicals with soap and water, before removing the gloves, to avoid contaminating your hands whil removing the gloves. Respirators Pesticides can enter the body via inhalation, skin absorption, and swallowing.
Inhalation is the quickest and most direct route to the circulatory system.
Respirators protect your lungs from dust, mists, fogs, and vapors. They don't offer protection from fumigants, either. Fumigants are highly penetrating and can penetrate the rubber and plastic on resp rators. In addition, some are colorless and odorless and give no warning of exposure. Before using a respirator, make sure you're fit enough to wear one.
