| Abstract | This material emphasizes the importance of wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling agri-inputs to prevent contamination. Agri-inputs, such as pesticides, can enter the body through dermal contact, inhalation, or ingestion, each posing significant health risks. Dermal contamination occurs when chemicals contact the skin or eyes, inhalation happens when toxic fumes are breathed in, and ingestion occurs when contaminated hands touch food or drinks. The sheet details the potential health consequences, including skin irritation, respiratory failure, infertility, and even death. The document outlines the areas of the body most vulnerable to contamination, stressing the need for proper PPE to safeguard health. By understanding the risks and consequences, participants are encouraged to always protect themselves when working with agri-inputs. | |
