对农场工人接触农药的情况知之甚少，对与执行特定农场任务有关的接触情况更是知之甚少。在华盛顿州东部的24个社区和劳动营随机抽取了213名农场工人，我们研究了职业任务与灰尘中有机磷（OP）农药残留和成人农场工人及其子女尿样中OP代谢物浓度之间的关系。这些数据来自一项更大规模的研究，该研究试图测试一种文化上适当的干预措施，以打破农药暴露的带回家途径。通常报告的农业任务是收获或采摘（79.2%），间伐（64.2%），装载植物或产品（42.2%），种植或移植（37.6%）和修剪（37.2%）。混合，装载，或应用农药制剂报告了我们的样品的20%。在室内灰尘（92.1% vs. 72.7%; p = 0.001）和车辆灰尘（92.6% vs. 76.5%; p = 0.002）中，变瘦的工人比那些没有检测到甲基azinande的工人更有可能检测到甲基azinande。稀释与儿童尿液中农药代谢物浓度较高有关（91.9%可检测到，81.3%; p = 0.02），但与成人无关。与预期相反，工人谁报告混合，装载，或应用农药制剂有较低的农药残留检测水平，在他们的房子或车辆灰尘，与那些谁没有执行这些工作任务相比，虽然差异并不显着。未来的研究应评估现场工作人员的工作场所的保护措施和充分的再进入间隔期间使用的农药稀疏。
Little is known about pesticide exposure among farmworkers, and even less is known about the exposure associated with performing specific farm tasks. Using a random sample of 213 farmworkers in 24 communities and labor camps in eastern Washington State, we examined the association between occupational task and organophosphate (OP) pesticide residues in dust and OP metabolite concentrations in urine samples of adult farmworkers and their children. The data are from a larger study that sought to test a culturally appropriate intervention to break the take-home pathway of pesticide exposure. Commonly reported farm tasks were harvesting or picking (79.2%), thinning (64.2%), loading plants or produce (42.2%), planting or transplanting (37.6%), and pruning (37.2%). Mixing, loading, or applying pesticide formulations was reported by 20% of our sample. Workers who thinned were more likely than those who did not to have detectable levels of azinphos-methyl in their house dust (92.1% vs. 72.7%; p = 0.001) and vehicle dust (92.6% vs. 76.5%; p = 0.002). Thinning was associated with higher urinary pesticide metabolite concentrations in children (91.9% detectable vs. 81.3%; p = 0.02) but not in adults. Contrary to expectation, workers who reported mixing, loading, or applying pesticide formulations had lower detectable levels of pesticide residues in their house or vehicle dust, compared with those who did not perform these job tasks, though the differences were not significant. Future research should evaluate workplace protective practices of fieldworkers and the adequacy of reentry intervals for pesticides used during thinning.
