Research into farmers' view towards personal protective equipment when working with plant protection products

The harmful consequences of the use of plant protection products (PPP) on humans, flora and fauna, and the environment have led to the need to control it through a series of conventions and programs that prohibit the use of some of the agents, while others only limit their use. PPP pose a special danger to people who frequently apply them and who are in direct contact with them during application. For this reason, methods of protection are prescribed, which practically boil down to the mandatory use of personal protective equipment as well asinstructinos on the safe handling of PPP. However, the implementation of protection measures is difficult to implement everywhere in the world. The paper presents the views and opinions of 101 farmers about the dangers of PPP and the way they use personal protective equipment when working with them. The data was obtained through an anonymous survey, and the survey was closed type and contained 15 questions.
