1. Do not spray in windy conditions
2. Do not spray during temperature inversions
3. No not spay when humidity is low and temperature is high

comes from a single, identifiable source or event. Some include:
1. Pesticide spills at mixing and loading sites
2. Wash water spills at equipment cleanup sites
3. Improper handling f spills and leaks at storage sites
4. Improper disposal of containers and rinse water from containers
5. Back-siphoning of pesticides into well water
6. Contaminated surface water runoff

MILD: Fatigue, headache, dizziness, blurred vision, excessive
sweating/salivation, nausea/vomiting, stomach cramps/diarrhea
MODERATE: Inability to walk, weakness, chest discomfort, constriction of
pupils, severe cases of "mild" symptoms
SEVERE: Fainting, muscle twitching, running nose/drooling, breathing
difficulty coma

1. Get the victim to a shaded area
2. Carefully remove the PPE and any clothing making the victim too warm
3. Cool the victim rapidly by sponging and splashing skin, especially face,
neck, and forearms, with water. If possible, immerse body in water
, 4. If the victim is conscious, have them drink cool water.
5. Keep the victim still and quiet until help arrives

long period of time
Runoff and erosion rates mainly depend on:

1. The slope of the application site
2. Whether there is vegetative cover or a vegetated buffer zone
3. Soil characteristics such as particle size and organic matter
4. The amount and intensity of rainfall after application
