Accidental poisonings can be avoided by proper labeling and storage of containers. When handling or applying<unk> s, exposure can be significantly reduced by protecting certain parts of the body where the skin shows increased absorption, such as the scrotal region, underarms, face, scalp, and hands. Safety protocols to reduce exposure include the use of personal protective equipment, washing hands and exposed skin during as well as after work, changing clothes between work shifts, and having first aid trainings and protocols in place for workers. Personal protective equipment for preventing<unk>  exposure includes the use of a respirator, goggles, and protective clothing, which have all have been shown to reduce risk of developing<unk> -induced diseases when handling<unk> s. A study found the risk of acute<unk>  was reduced by 55% in farmers who adopted extra personal protective measures and were educated about both protective equipment and<unk>  exposure risk. Exposure can be significantly reduced when handling or applying<unk> s by protecting certain parts of the body where the skin shows increased absorption, such as the scrotal region, underarms, face, scalp, and hands. Using chemical-resistant gloves has been shown to reduce contamination by 33–86%. Use of genetically modified crops led to significant reduction of<unk>  as these require significantly less<unk>  application. In India alone reduction of 2.4–9 million cases per year was observed after widespread adoption of Bt cotton, with similar reductions reported in China, Pakistan and other countries.
