Farmworkers and their families are exposed to pesticides both at work and in their homes. Environmental exposure assessment provides a means to evaluate pesticides in the environment and human contact with these chemicals through identification of sources and routes of exposure. To date, a variety of methods have been used to assess pesticide exposure among farmworker families, mostly focusing on dust and handwipe samples. While many of the methods are similar, differences in the collection, chemical analysis, and statistical analysis, can limit the comparability of results from farmworker studies. This mini-monograph discusses the strategies used to assess pesticide exposures, presents limitations in the available data for farmworkers, and suggests research needs for future studies of pesticide exposure among farmworker families.
农场工人及其家人在工作场所和家中都会接触到农药。环境暴露评估提供了一种手段，通过识别暴露源和暴露途径来评估环境中的农药以及人类与这些化学物质的接触情况。迄今为止，已采用多种方法来评估农场工人家庭中的农药暴露情况，主要集中在粉尘和手部擦拭样本上。虽然许多方法相似，但在样本采集、化学分析和统计分析方面的差异，可能会限制农场工人研究结果的可比性。本专题论文集讨论了用于评估农药暴露的策略，指出了农场工人现有数据的局限性，并提出了未来农场工人家庭农药暴露研究的需求。
