Abstract
An adhesion volume for the farm worker was determinated as a base line study considering accident prevention in case of contact pesticide by farm workers in vinyl greenhouses.
Results
1) Adhesion volume was found greatest on the leg part and then in decreasing volume as follows: upperarm, head, forearm part; in other words, the farther away from the body to the periphery, the higher the adhesion volume.
2) On the same crop, the adhesion volume to the farm worker on spraying in harvest time increased more in head, upperarm, and abdomen part compared with that in growth time.
3) On different crops (that is, tomato crop and cucumber crop), the adhesion volume on spraying in the cucumber crop was more in leg, chest, abdomen and back part than in the tomato crop.
