背景 接触农药会给农场工人带来健康风险。该分析记录了北卡罗来纳州拉丁裔移民农场工人一生和当前的农药暴露情况，并与非农场工人拉丁裔移民进行了比较。方法 2012 年 5 月至 10 月期间，235 名拉丁裔农场工人和 212 名拉丁裔非农场工人完成了对项目的访谈，以构建一生、当前居住和职业农药暴露量的衡量标准。结果 农场工人终生和居住地接触农药的水平始终高于非农场工人。农场工人报告称职业性接触过大量杀虫剂。终生接触和当前住宅农药接触与社会决定因素有关。农场工人和非农场工人的教育程度与终生接触农药呈负相关；持有 H-2A 签证的农场工人报告称，与没有 H-2A 签证的农场工人相比，他们的住宅接触农药的情况更多。结论 职业安全政策在制定标准时需要考虑这些终生暴露模式。卫生保健提供者应了解这一弱势群体的一生和当前的暴露情况。是。 J.工业医学。 57:776-787，2014 年。(c) 2014 年 Wiley 期刊公司。
Background Pesticide exposure poses a health risk for farmworkers. This analysis documents lifetime and current pesticide exposure of North Carolina Latino migrant farmworkers, with comparison to non-farmworker Latino immigrants. Methods During May to October 2012, 235 Latino farmworkers and 212 Latino non-farmworkers completed interviews with items to construct measures of lifetime, current residential and occupational pesticide exposure. Results Farmworkers experience levels of lifetime and residential pesticide exposure that are consistently greater than among non-farmworkers. Farmworkers report a large number of occupational pesticide exposures. Lifetime exposure and current residential pesticide exposure are related to social determinants. Education is inversely related to lifetime pesticide exposure for farmworkers and non-farmworkers; farmworkers with H-2A visas report greater residential pesticide exposure than those without H-2A visas. Conclusions Occupational safety policy needs to consider these patterns of lifetime exposure when setting standards. Health care providers should be aware of the lifetime and current exposure of this vulnerable population. Am. J. Ind. Med. 57:776-787, 2014. (c) 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
