In recent years, there has been escalating concern over the possible association between exposure to pesticides and adverse human health effects by a number of non-governmental organizations, professional and public interest groups. Recognizing the need to document the scientific basis of these concerns as a foundation for initiating a research theme devoted to linkages between exposures to pesticides and human health effects, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) requested a summary of recent research trends that address these linkages. Experts across Canada in the field of pesticide regulation and research were invited to participate in the review. The review summarizes the limitations of past and current studies related to pesticides and human health effects research and makes suggestions for future research priorities and proposed study designs that will improve the assessment of pesticide exposure, the associated health risks, and improved methodology for regulatory decision making.
近年来，一些非政府组织、专业团体和公共利益团体越来越担心接触农药可能会对人类健康产生不良影响。加拿大卫生研究院（CIHR）认识到有必要记录这些担忧的科学依据，作为启动一个致力于研究农药接触与人类健康影响之间联系的研究主题的基础，因此要求提供一份关于解决这些联系的近期研究趋势的总结。加拿大农药监管和研究领域的专家受邀参与此次综述。该综述总结了过去和当前与农药及人类健康影响研究相关的研究的局限性，并对未来的研究重点和拟议的研究设计提出了建议，这些建议将改进农药接触评估、相关健康风险评估以及监管决策的方法。
