摘要

The present paper is an outcome of the research work carried out in All India Coordinated Research project on Empowerment of farm families to combat health hazards. Here Protective clothing/ accessories were designed, developed and field tested to assess their suitability and acceptability among farm families during field activities. For farm women three types of face masks i.e. beak mask, hood mask, scarf with mask and for farm men two types of masks i.e. cap with mask and hood with mask were developed along with both upper and lower garments. The findings revealed that most of the developed protective clothing/accessories were found highly suitable and acceptable among both farm men and women.
