6.3.20 EPA Guidance on respirator use, Information on wipes and cleaning equipment, etc.

Every day I think you have heard enough from me, and almost every day there is more.  Thanks for continuing to read and keep up with all the frustrating challenges.  I am proud to work for these industries!

The EPA just came out with Temporary Guidance on Respiratory Protection for Agricultural Pesticide Handlers During COVID-19 on June 1 – based on the unavailability of required respiratory protection and fit testing. https://www.epa.gov/pesticides/epa-releases-temporary-guidance-respiratory-protection-agricultural-pesticide-handlers

Rutgers is doing a great job in covering issues that I don’t see covered elsewhere – this time the use of disinfectant wipes. https://plant-pest-advisory.rutgers.edu/are-disinfectant-wipes-working-for-you/

Cleaning equipment from NYCAMH https://www.nycamh.org/news.php?id=836&utm_source=June+2020&utm_campaign=June+2020+Farm+and+Land+Notes&utm_medium=email
