What should not be transported with pesticides in the vehicle?

Transporting food with pesticides in the same vehicle is not advisable due to health and safety concerns. Pesticides can potentially contaminate food, leading to dangerous exposure for humans. The risk exists because pesticides can emit vapors or leak, which could directly affect the food stored in close proximity. If the pesticides are in their original containers and properly secured, the risk is reduced, but it is still better practice to keep food completely separate from any chemicals.

In contrast, items like seeds, personal protective equipment (PPE), and water are generally acceptable to transport alongside pesticides. Seeds can be left unaffected by pesticides if they are appropriately handled. PPE is essential for ensuring that the applicator remains safe when handling chemicals, and transporting water is necessary for diluting or rinsing pesticide applications. Maintaining proper separation of food from pesticides plays a crucial role in minimizing health risks and ensuring safe application practices.
