Abstract. Farmers and custom applicators are under great pressure when applying pesticides. An increasing awareness of environmental pollution, along with worker pesticide exposure concerns, has resulted in increased pesticide use legislation. Worker protection is extremely important and engineering solutions to reduce worker exposure ing to the market place. Exposure to hazardous substances, such as pesticides, should either be prevented or adequately controlled. Control must, so far as is reasonably practicable, be by engineering control methods. In 2000, on behalf of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, Cornell University researchers conducted a sur
