Abstract
The purpose of this study is suggesting several factors to consider when making or developing agricultural safety clothing to enhance farmers’ health. This study is to suggest on development the newly-designed agricultural safety clothing for pesticide-proof and comfort functions of different materials of anti-pesticide protective clothing. In wearing tests, human physiological reaction and subjective comfort measured by Thermo-hygrometer from 5-parts such as forehead, chest, forearm, thigh, and lower leg before and after working. In the results of physiological and subjective comforts, agricultural safety clothing with water-oil repellent finished Sontara® was lower than agricultural safety clothing with PVC-coated nylon in human skin temperature, sweat quantity, inside-clothes temperature and humidity. The newly-designed agricultural safety clothing with water-oil repellent finished Sontara® were suggested all excellent in pesticide-proof effect and functionality and turned out to have higher comfort.
