Hamyang-gun Provides Free 'Pesticide Protective Clothing' to Farmers

715 Pesticide Protective Suits Provided This Year, Annual Support Project for Safe Pesticide Use Equipment to Protect Farmers' Health

Support for Pesticide Protective Clothing to Safeguard the Health of Farmers in Hamyang County

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapyang-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 4th that it will support 715 sets of pesticide protective clothing to farms with a project cost of 28.44 million won to prevent and protect farmers from pesticide poisoning.

Hapyang-gun has been supporting protective clothing worn when spraying pesticides by receiving applications from farmers every year with a project cost of around 30 million won.

This measure takes into account that if pesticide components accumulate in the human body when farmers spray pesticides during the crop cultivation process, it may cause various diseases such as malignant tumors, respiratory diseases, and neurological disorders.

During the farming process, various pesticides are used several times to prevent pests and diseases, but cases of poisoning often occur because farmers spray pesticides without wearing protective gear.

A Hapyang-gun official stated, "From the perspective of maintaining and promoting the health of farmers in the jurisdiction, we plan to continuously promote the pesticide safety equipment support project so that farmers can wear protective equipment and spray pesticides safely."
