农业中的职业接触与许多肺部疾病有关，包括慢性阻塞性肺病、哮喘、过敏性肺炎、肺癌和间质性肺病。正在努力确定这些负面呼吸结果的促成因素，并改善对导致疾病的环境因素的监测。在这篇综述中，最近发表的研究调查在农业行业的职业暴露的有害影响进行了讨论。职业暴露于许多农业环境气溶胶，包括杀虫剂，真菌和细菌与呼吸功能受损和疾病有关。某些耕作方法的增加，包括蘑菇和温室种植，提出了新的职业接触问题。改进的检测方法可以提供更好地监测已知肺部刺激物的安全暴露水平的机会。在农业行业，职业性接触有机和无机气溶胶会增加工人患肺病的风险。提高对呼吸道风险的认识和改善对农业环境的监测是限制接触人群肺部健康风险的必要条件。
Occupational exposures in the agricultural industry are associated with numerous lung diseases, including chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, lung cancer and interstitial lung diseases. Efforts are ongoing to ascertain contributing factors to these negative respiratory outcomes and improve monitoring of environmental factors leading to disease. In this review, recently published studies investigating the deleterious effects of occupational exposures in the agricultural industry are discussed. Occupational exposures to numerous agricultural environment aerosols, including pesticides, fungi, and bacteria are associated with impaired respiratory function and disease. Increases in certain farming practices, including mushroom and greenhouse farming, present new occupational exposure concerns. Improved detection methods may provide opportunities to better monitor safe exposure levels to known lung irritants. In the agricultural industry, occupational exposures to organic and inorganic aerosols lead to increased risk for lung disease amongst workers. Increased awareness of respiratory risks and improved monitoring of agricultural environments are necessary to limit pulmonary health risks to exposed populations.
