背景有限的数据记录了农业工人在一个农业季节多次和重复的农药吸收或其风险因素。方法2007年对196名农工进行4次调查，每月一次。尿液样本检测了12种农药尿液代谢物。问卷数据提供了暴露风险的测量方法。结果农工至少检出一种农药尿代谢物；例如，84.2%的人至少检出一次乙酰甲胺磷，88.8%的人检出3,5,6-三氯-2-吡啶醇。大多数农场工人对特定代谢物有多种检测；例如，64.8%的人检测到两次或两次以上乙酰甲酯，64.8%的人检测到3,5,6-三氯-2-吡啶醇，79.1%的人检测到3-苯氧苯甲酸，86.7%的人检测到2,4-二氯苯氧乙酸。房屋类型与代谢物检测有一致的显著关联。结论：农工在一个农业季节暴露于多种农药，并且他们会反复暴露于同一种农药。减少农场工人的农药接触和描述这种接触的健康后果需要更详细的数据。点。中华医学杂志，2010,32(3):559 - 559。(C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc。
Background Limited data document the multiple and repeated pesticide absorption experienced by farmworkers in an agricultural season or their risk factors.Methods Data were collected from 196 farmworkers four times at monthly intervals in 2007. Urine samples were tested for 12 pesticide urinary metabolites. Questionnaire data provided measures of exposure risks.Results Farmworkers had at least one detection for many pesticide urinary metabolites; for example, 84.2% had at least one detection for acephate, 88.8% for 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol. Most farmworkers had multiple detections for specific metabolites; for example, 64.8% had two or more detections for acephate, 64.8% for 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol, 79.1% for 3-phenoxybenzoic acid, and 86.7% for 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid. Housing type had a consistent significant association with metabolite detections.Conclusions Farmworkers are exposed to multiple pesticides across an agricultural season, and they experience repeated exposures to the same pesticides. Reducing farmworker pesticide exposure and delineating the health outcomes of this exposure require more detailed data. Am. J. Ind. Med. 53:802-813, 2010. (C) 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
