3、ng, loading and application ofliquid pesticides can be affected by dermal exposure to liquid pesticide formulations. Use of protectiveclothing can assist in minimizing the danger of contact with potentially harmful pesticides. Nonporousmaterials that provide excellent protection to the user are usua

4、lly not suitable for many agriculturalenvironments in which there is a potential for heat stress. Therefore, garments made of porousmaterials that can provide a balance between risk from pesticide exposure and user comfort can alsobe used as personal protective equipment (PPE) for agricultural worke

5、rs. The movement of liquidpesticides through these materials is primarily a result of penetration through spaces between fibersand interstices between yarns. As these materials provide protection either by repelling or retainingliquid pesticide, the measurement of these properties is also important.

6、 This test method is used tomeasure repellency, retention, and penetration of liquid pesticides through protective clothingmaterials.The degree of contamination depends on numerous factors such as type of exposure, applicationtechnique, and pesticide formulation. Worker exposure to liquid pesticides

7、 can range from lowexposure caused by spray drift to high exposure as in the case of an accidental spill while mixing orhandling of concentrates. As the level of exposure can vary considerably, this test method is designedto rate relative performance of PPE materials at two levels of contamination.1

8、. Scope1.1 This test method measures repellency, retention andpenetration of a known volume of liquid pesticide whenapplied to protective clothing material. No external hydrostaticor mechanical pressure is applied to the test specimen during orafter the application of the liquid pesticide.1.2 This t

9、est method is designed to measure performance ofprotective clothing materials at two levels of contamination.Low level of contamination is achieved by applying 0.1-mLliquid formulation and high level by applying 0.2 mL.1.3 This test method does not measure resistance to perme-ation or degradation.1.

10、4 This test method is suitable for field strength pesticideformulations. This test method may not be suitable for testingprotective clothing materials against volatile pesticides.1.5 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as thestandard.1.6 This standard does not purport to address all of

11、thesafety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.

23、 and a base solvent used in pesticideformulation. Additional ingredients could include emulsifiersand surfactants. Solvents used in the formulation could bewater, isopropyl alcohol, or petroleum distillate. Solid materi-als (powders, granules, and so forth) may be dissolved oremulsified to form a li

Test Specimen7.1 Protective clothing material specimen may consist of asin

37、gle layer or a composite of multiple layers that is represen-tative of an actual protective clothing garment. Specimens withseams, closures, or other unions shall be cut such that thestitching is centered on the specimen. In each test the outersurface should be contaminated with the pesticide formul

38、ation.7.1.1 Each protective clothing material specimen shouldmeasure 80 by 80 mm.7.1.2 Aminimum of three specimens shall be tested for eachtest material. Random sampling procedures described in Prac-tice E 105 should be used for the selection of specimen.8. Selection of Analytical Technique8.1 The p

39、rocedure used to quantify the mass of testchemical/liquid in the test specimen and absorbent papers shallbe determined before conducting the tests. The selection ofprocedure for analysis is based on the liquid test chemicalselected.8.1.1 Gravimetric analysis can be used if the liquid testchemical ha

40、s (1) a low evaporation rate and (2) no filtration orselective retention of ingredients. Typically, pesticide formu-lations that are categorized as emulsifiable concentrates (rela-tively small particle size) and liquid concentrates (water-basedsolution concentrate with no particles) meet the criteri

41、a.8.1.2 Analytical techniques such as gas chromatography orhigh-pressure liquid chromatography can be used for formula-tions with an active ingredient. This requires extraction (inmost cases) and analysis of the active ingredient.8.1.3 Use Method A if the gravimetric method is used foranalysis. Use

42、Method B if the procedure requires extractionand analysis of active ingredient.9. Preparation of Test Apparatus and Materials9.1 Calibration of the Pipettor9.1.1 Calibration with Distilled Water9.1.1.1 Calibrate the pipettor by weighing 0.1 mL (0.2 mLfor higher contamination level) of distilled wate

43、r. Take tenreadings. The values shall be within the 2 % tolerance limits.9.1.2 Calibration with Liquid Test Chemical9.1.2.1 The pipettor shall be calibrated by each operatorbefore conducting the tests. Use the same tip to dispense thetest aliquot (0.1 or 0.2 mL) and record the weight to the thirddec

44、imal place (0.001). Take ten readings. Each value shall bewithin the 2 % tolerance limits. Calculate the mean of tenreadings. The mean value shall be used as the value for totalamount of the liquid test chemical applied for Method A in10.2.NOTE 4Experience of the operator in pipetting the liquid tes

45、t chemi-cal according to the procedure provided by the manufacturer is crucial.Inexperience in aspirating and dispensing the liquid test chemical canresult in errors. Electronic pipettors may reduce the error caused byoperator experience.NOTE 5The viscosity of the liquids may affect the amount dispe

46、nsed.Liquid buildup in the tip may occur for liquids that are more viscous. Incase of buildup, use fresh tip for each application or change as required,based on the results of the ten consecutive readings taken in 9.1.2.9.2 Preparation of the Test Assembly9.2.1 Mount the pipettor on the support stan

47、d and placeunder the fume hood.NOTE 6If the height of the container with the liquid test chemical isgreater than 25 mm, place the specimen holder on a raised platform so thetest chemical can be aspirated with ease.9.2.2 Place the collector layer with the absorbent side up onthe base plate of the spe

48、cimen holder. Then place the testspecimen, outside face uppermost, followed by the cover plate.Place the specimen holder with the specimen and collectorlayer horizontally below the pipettor. Adjust the height of thepipettor to a distance of 30 6 5 mm above specimen.NOTE 7A polymethyl methacrylate (P

49、MMA) cover plate prevents theedges of the material from curling and also ensures contact between thelayers.9.2.3 Mark the position of the specimen holder on the standor raised platform.9.3 Conditioning and Testing Conditions9.3.1 Unless otherwise specified, test specimens and absor-bent paper shall be conditioned and tested at (20 6 5C) and 606 10 % relative humidity for 24 h before testing.10.
