What should be done with gloves after they become contaminated during pesticide application?

After gloves become contaminated during pesticide application, they should be disposed of appropriately. This is crucial because contaminated gloves pose a risk of pesticide exposure to the handler and can lead to environmental contamination. Disposing of them properly ensures that any hazardous materials are managed in accordance with safety regulations and prevents any accidental transfer of chemicals to other surfaces, equipment, or individuals.

Using contaminated gloves for the remainder of the day, washing them for reuse, or storing them for later can lead to increased risk of contact with harmful substances. It is essential to prioritize safety not only for oneself but also for others who may come into contact with the gloves or surrounding areas. Proper disposal minimizes these risks and maintains compliance with safety protocols.
