I'm no chemist but I try to read everything I can about safety with this type of thing. We occasionally have to weld on our spray rigs and respirators and fans are mandatory as per my shop rules. I always have the Techs pressure wash the area first.These machines have fungicide, herbicide, insecticide, growth regulators, fertilizer, and who knows what else on them.
