South African WfW worker's personal protective equipment remains contaminated even after handwashing
Because most South African Working for Water (WfW) workers hand-washed their personal protective equipment, they had difficulty in properly removing residues and soil from the personal protective equipment. The WfW program is a national government-wide initiative that uses herbicides for the removal of alien invasive plant species and has a policy of hiring unemployed members of poor, marginalized communities.
