aundering contaminated clothing Pesticide residue is picked up on othjng worn during pesticide pplication. Because pesticides n enter the body through the kin, careful attention to clothing ontaminated by drift 0r spills is quirEd. Researchers at Iowa State niversity, Ames, conducted a udy to determine the best pro- dure for laundering the clothing cm by farmers during pesticide pplication. Heavy weight denim f 100 per cent cotton and a olyester/cotton blend cambray rzbric were used in the study; esticides used were atrazine (a erbicid'e) and Thimet (an t secticide). Results of the study showed that rmal laundering was adequate - removing the pesticides â€"â€" 99.8 -- cent to 99.9 per cent of the emicals were removed from the othing.
