The present invention provides a system and method for tracking chemical applications and providing warnings regarding chemical exposure times. According to a preferred embodiment, the present invention provides a method which includes the steps of: receiving chemical application data; retrieving data regarding the chemical characteristics of the applied chemicals; receiving geo-location data identifying a target application area for the applied chemicals; calculating a probable application area based on a calculation of the potential drift of the applied chemicals beyond the target application area; calculating a buffer zone around the probable application area; calculating a safety boundary around the probable application area; calculating a geo-fence for the determined buffer zone; calculating a geo-fence for the probable application area; calculating an effective period for the probable application area; receiving location data regarding a registered user; comparing the received location data against the calculated geo-fence boundaries for the determined buffer zone and the probable application area; determining whether the first user is within a determined buffer zone; transmitting a notification or warning message to the user regarding entry into the buffer zone; determining whether the first user is within the probable application area; transmitting a notification to the user regarding entry into the probable application area; tracking the total time the first user is within the probable application area; and transmitting a notification to the first user regarding the total time the first user is within the probable application area.
A method for tracking chemical applications and providing warnings regarding chemical exposure times, the method comprising:
