HEALTHY ENVIRONMENTS

If you are exposed to spray-drift you may want to:

• shower and change your clothing 
• wash exposed foods, like fruit or vegetables before cooking or eating them
• disconnect pipes to water tanks collecting rain water from a roof until the roof has been washed down by the next rainfall.

You can also note down the following details if you know them:

• how you first became aware of the spray-drift
• the time, date and weather (especially the wind strength and direction)
• the colour and smell of the spray, if obvious
• who was spraying, and the equipment used
• who else is spraying in the area
• the type of aircraft (if used), its identification number and colour, and the direction it came from
• an estimate of its height above the ground
• any symptoms occurring after the spray-drift, and how long it was between the spray-drift and the symptoms starting

You may even be able to video or photograph what is happening.
