What is a Respirator used for in the context of pesticide application?

To protect against skin exposure to pesticides
To protect against eye irritation from pesticide vapors
To prevent inhalation of hazardous substances, including pesticides
To neutralize pesticide residues on treated surfaces

The correct answer is: To prevent inhalation of hazardous substances, including pesticides

A Respirator is a device used to protect the user from inhaling hazardous substances, such as pesticides. This is the main purpose of a respirator, making options A, B, and D incorrect. Option A only mentions protection against skin exposure, which is not the primary use of a respirator. Option B only mentions protection against eye irritation, which is not the intended purpose of a respirator. Option D mentions neutralizing pesticide residues, which is not the same as preventing inhalation of the pesticide itself. It is important to use a respirator when handling pesticides to ensure safety and prevent harmful exposure to the user.
