To assess associations of protective workplace and home practices with pesticide exposure levels.
Using data from orchard workers in the Yakima Valley, Washington, we examined associations of workplace and home protective practices with (1) urinary metabolite concentrations of dimethylthiophosphate (DMTP) in adults and children aged 2 to 6 years and (2) azinphos-methyl levels in house and vehicle dust.
Data were collected from 95 orchard workers and 94 children. Contrary to expectation, adult farm workers who wore boots or washed hands using hand sanitizer had higher concentrations of DMTP than those who did not. Children who attended daycare had higher DMTP concentrations than children who did not.
Few workplace or home practices were associated with pesticide exposure levels; workers who used hand sanitizer had higher concentrations of DMTP, as did children who attended daycare.
评估工作场所和家庭防护措施与农药接触水平的关联。
利用华盛顿雅基马谷果园工人的数据,我们检验了工作场所和家庭防护措施与(1)2 至 6 岁儿童及成人尿液中二甲基硫代磷酸酯(DMTP)代谢物浓度,以及(2)住宅和车辆灰尘中谷硫磷水平的关联。
共收集了 95 名果园工人和 94 名儿童的数据。与预期相反,使用靴子或手部消毒剂洗手的成年农场工人 DMTP 浓度高于不使用的工人。上日托的儿童 DMTP 浓度高于不上日托的儿童。
很少有工作场所或家庭防护措施与农药接触水平有关;使用手部消毒剂的工人 DMTP 浓度较高,上日托的儿童也是如此。
