toward pesticide use as well as knowledge and use of PPE were
poor (Norkaew et al., 2010; Wongwichit et al., 2010). For
example, about three-fourths of chili farmers located in the
northeastern region of Thailand who were surveyed about
their KAP did not understand the utility of PPE, did not use PPE,
or were not concerned about their overall exposures (Norkaew
et al., 2010). The general lack of PPE use by Thai farmers puts
them at increased risk of pesticide exposures and health
outcomes related to those exposures (Panuwet et al., 2008).
