What is the main concern when pesticides are spilled on clothing?

Color change
Chemical residue exposure
Damage to fabric
Allergies to fabric

The correct answer is: Chemical residue exposure

The primary concern when pesticides are spilled on clothing is the exposure to chemical residues. Pesticides contain toxic substances that can be harmful if they come into contact with skin or are inhaled. When pesticides are absorbed or remain on fabric, they can pose a significant health risk to the wearer and anyone else nearby. The chemicals can lead to various health issues, including skin irritation, poisoning, or long-term health effects depending on the pesticide's nature. While color change, damage to fabric, and allergies to fabric are all potential issues associated with spills on clothing, they do not carry the immediate health risks posed by chemical exposure. Protection from these harmful substances is crucial, which underscores why addressing pesticide spills carefully and ensuring proper washing and handling of contaminated clothing is essential in pest control practices.
