What kind of protective clothing material is most resistant to pesticide penetration?

  1. Cloth

  2. Nylon

  3. Polyethylene

  4. Rubber

The correct answer is: Cloth

Cloth is the most resistant to pesticide penetration because it has a tighter weave than nylon, meaning there are fewer gaps for pesticides to seep through. Polyethylene and rubber materials are not typically used for protective clothing as they are either too flimsy (polyethylene) or too rigid (rubber) for comfort and practicality. Nylon, while durable, does not provide the same level of protection as cloth due to its more open weave. Therefore, cloth is the best choice for protective clothing material in this scenario.
