背景农业中使用的农药可能被带入工人家中，对儿童和其他家庭成员构成潜在风险。本研究的重点是识别潜在的干预点在workshare.Methods工人（N=46）从两个果树果园在华盛顿州招募了63项农药安全问卷。从通勤车辆和工人家中收集灰尘，并分析了四种有机磷（OP）农药结果三组工人粉尘中甲基噻嗪酮浓度几何平均值分别为（16名农药操作员，15名绿色水果稀释剂，15名有机果园工人）范围为0.027- 1.5 g/g，车辆灰尘中的水平高于房屋灰尘，处理者家中的室内灰尘含量高于水果稀释者家中的含量。机动车尘和屋尘中甲基喹嗪的浓度高度相关（R-2=0.44，P
Background Pesticides used in agriculture can be taken into worker homes and pose a potential risk for children and other family members. This study focused on identification of potential intervention points at the workplace.Methods Workers (N=46) recruited from two tree fruit orchards in Washington State were administered a 63-item pesticide safety questionnaire. Dust was collected from commuter vehicles and worker homes and analyzed for four organophosphorus (OP) pesticides (azinphosmethyl, phosmet, chlorpyrifos, malathion).Results Geometric mean azinphosmethyl concentrations in dust for three worker groups (16 pesticide handlers, 15 green fruit thinners, 15 organic orchard workers) ranged from 0.027-1.5g/g, with levels in vehicle dust higher than in house dust, and levels in house dust from handlers' homes higher than levels from tree fruit thinners' homes. Vehicle and house dust concentrations of azinphosmethyl were highly associated (R-2=0.44, P
