초록

This study sought to develop pesticide-protective clothing, which could reduce pesticide exposure and enhance work comfort for fruit farmers. The use of pesticides in fruit tree cultivation has increased agricultural productivity. However, with the high frequency of pesticide spraying, there is the possibility of agricultural chemical poisoning, which could affect the health of the farmers. In this study, the functional material used to make pesticide-protective clothing was examined and its physical properties were evaluated. A sensory evaluation on the pesticide-protective clothing material was then conducted and its physiological comfort was also evaluated. According to the study results, the applied material met the pesticide penetration prevention standards, and the pesticide-protective clothing offered a satisfactory fit. According to the comfort wear test results, the temperature and humidity inside the clothing were lower than that of existing pesticide-protective clothing and it was thus found to be effective in reducing heat stress and enhancing comfort compared to the existing products (p<0.05). In the future, there would be a need to develop pesticide-protective clothing more suitable for the fruit tree cultivation working environment based on a field applicability evaluation. The results of this study are expected to contribute to the design of pesticide-protective clothing for farmers.
