目的：将育龄女性农场工人的工作场所特征、工作场所行为和健康信念与接触有机磷农药和杀菌剂代森锰锌的实际生物标志物进行比较。方法：招募年龄在 18 至 40 岁之间从事苗圃或蕨类植物作业的西班牙裔和海地农场工人参加横断面调查，检查人口统计、工作实践、与工作相关的卫生和农药接触信念。对单份（点）尿液样本进行有机磷和亚乙基硫脲代谢物分析。结果：与蕨类植物园中的女性相比，苗圃中的女性较少担心农药对她们健康的影响。总之，苗圃工人的有机磷和亚乙基硫脲水平显着高于蕨类植物工人和对照组的水平。结论：结果表明，不同农业亚群体中感知的农药暴露与实际代谢物水平并不对应。
Objective:To compare workplace characteristics, workplace behaviors, and the health beliefs of female farmworkers of childbearing age with actual biomarkers of exposure to organophosphate pesticides and to the fungicide mancozeb.Methods:Hispanic and Haitian farmworkers between the ages of 18 and 40 years working in nursery or fernery operations were recruited to participate in a cross-sectional survey, examining demographics, work practices, work-related hygiene, and pesticide exposure beliefs. Single-void (spot) urine samples were analyzed for organophosphate and ethylenethiourea metabolites.Results:Women in nurseries worried less frequently about the effects of pesticides on their health than those in fernery operations. In summary, organophosphate and ethylenethiourea levels in nursery workers were significantly higher than levels in fernery workers and the control group.Conclusions:Results showed that perceived pesticide exposure did not correspond to actual metabolite levels within differing agricultural subpopulations.
