This study reviews the evidence on the association between work in greenhouses and reproductive disorders. The analysis indicate that employment in greenhouses may increase the risk of birth defects, preterm delivery and spontaneous abortion, and also may affect birth weight. The obtained results showed that employment in the agriculture production sector (greenhouses) of more than 10 years decreased the median sperm concentration in men. The data on the effect of employment in greenhouses on the time to pregnancy are unequivocal, but most of them suggest that there is a relationship between the decreased fecundity ratio and greenhouse work, mostly due to exposure to pesticides. The literature review indicates a great need to increase awareness among greenhouse workers occupationally exposed to pesticides about potential negative effects of these chemicals on their health.
本研究回顾了温室工作与生殖障碍之间关联的证据。分析表明，在温室工作可能会增加出生缺陷、早产和自然流产的风险，还可能影响出生体重。所得结果显示，在农业生产部门（温室）工作超过10年的男性，其精子浓度中位数降低。关于温室工作对怀孕时间影响的数据并不明确，但大多数数据表明，生育力下降与温室工作之间存在关联，主要原因是接触农药。文献综述表明，迫切需要提高职业接触农药的温室工人对这些化学物质对其健康潜在负面影响的认识。
