What type of packaging provides extra protection from dangerous pesticides?

Water-soluble packaging is designed to provide a unique layer of safety and containment for hazardous substances, including dangerous pesticides. This type of packaging dissolves in water, enabling the active ingredients to be released effectively without needing direct handling of the pesticide itself. This minimizes exposure risks to applicators and the environment, ensuring a safer application process.

The other types of packaging do not offer the same level of protection. Cardboard packaging can be easily damaged and is generally not impermeable to moisture or chemicals. Plastic containers, while more robust than cardboard, can still pose risks if they are not designed specific to the chemicals they contain, as some pesticides may interact adversely with certain plastics. Open packaging lacks any protective barrier, significantly elevating the risk of accidental exposure or spills.
