Pesticides are chemical mixtures that are used to destroy, control or reduce harmful organisms and they toxic to humans. Pesticides enter the body through the mouth, respiration and skin and most of them can show carcinogenic, mutagenic, allergic and irritant effects. These harms can be prevented by the protective measures to be taken by workers when using pesticides in agricultural areas. This study investigated the working conditions of greenhouse workers and the protective clothing they should wear to protect themselves from pesticides. In the first part of the study, a face-to-face questionnaire was applied to 83 people working in greenhouses in different regions were asked about their work clothing using a personal questionnaire. In the second part, disposable protective clothing of 2 different brands that are widely used in the sector, were examined. These products were compared in terms of sewing properties and model properties.As a result of the survey, it was stated that 87% of the workers in the greenhouses wear work clothes, wash their clothes in the machine, mostly every 2 days, and change the clothes when the period of use is over. 80% of them were satisfied with their work clothes, and they listed their expectations from the clothes such as protection against harmful chemicals, being suitable for the work environment, being liquid proof and being comfortable. It has been determined that it is very important to inform agricultural workers about pesticides through training programs to protect and improve their health.
