Which protective measures are necessary during ULV pesticide applications?

During ULV (Ultra-Low Volume) pesticide applications, wearing gloves and goggles is crucial to ensure personal safety. ULV pesticides are concentrated, and the application process can lead to fine particles being airborne, which poses a risk of skin and eye contact.

Gloves provide a barrier between the pesticide and the skin, reducing the potential for chemical exposure and irritation. Goggles are important for protecting the eyes from splashes or drifting pesticide particles, which can cause serious damage or irritation.

While other options might suggest protective clothing or respiratory protection, they do not specifically address the immediate and critical need for eye and skin protection that goggles and gloves provide during this type of application. In this context, the focus is on minimizing direct contact and exposure to ensure the applicator's safety.
