immediate medical attention.
✔✔If a person spills liquid pesticide onto his or her arm, the amount of exposure and
injury can often be reduced by: - ✔✔Washing the exposed area with and soap water.
✔✔During an application operation, pilots must wear the label-required personal
protective equipment for pesticide handlers: - ✔✔Anytime While making nozzle
adjustments.
✔✔First-aid instructions to use for pesticide exposure is found on: - ✔✔Pesticide labels.
✔✔An up-to-date Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) document is useful to ground
crew members especially when: - ✔✔The communication channel with the pilot is lost.
✔✔For protection of the surrounding community, a good reason for securing pesticide
application aircraft and other equipment when not in use is to: - ✔✔Prevent intruder
access to the equipment.
, ✔✔At a minimum, the training that ground crews must receive as pesticide handlers is
required to be performed: - ✔✔Every five years, before performing handling activities.
✔✔Chances of pesticide exposure greatly increases if a pesticide handler fails to: -
✔✔Wear the required personal protective equipment.
✔✔Good communication with the ground crew before and during an application
operation may result in: - ✔✔Fewer job delays.
✔✔Managing off-target pesticide drift during an aerial application is: - ✔✔The pilot's
responsibility.

spray nozzles. - ✔✔Finer.
✔✔The most effective boom lengths for reducing the amount of drift are: - ✔✔75% of
the wingspan or the rotor span.
✔✔Aside from external factors, the most important factors affecting off-target drift are: -
✔✔The size of the spray droplets and the percentage of droplets within a certain size
range.
✔✔Driftable fines are droplets in the size range of: - ✔✔50 to 200 microns.
