Workers in the Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries (AgFF) sector experience exposures directly related to the work itself, as well as the physical environment in which the work occurs. Health outcomes vary from immediate to delayed, and from acute to chronic.
We reviewed existing literature on the health outcomes of work in the AgFF sector and identified areas where further research is needed to understand the impact of these exposures on immigrant Latino workers in the southeastern US.
Outcomes related to specific body systems (e.g., musculoskeletal, respiratory) as well as particular exposure sources (e.g., pesticides, noise) were reviewed. The most extensive evidence exists for agriculture, with a particular focus on chemical exposures. Little research in the southeastern US has examined health outcomes of exposures of immigrant workers in forestry or fisheries.
As the AgFF labor force includes a growing number of Latino immigrants, more research is needed to characterize a broad range of exposures and health outcomes experienced by this population, particularly in forestry and fisheries.
农业、林业和渔业（AgFF）部门的工人直接面临与工作相关的暴露，以及工作发生的物理环境。健康结果从即时到延迟，从急性到慢性不等。
我们回顾了农业、林业和渔业部门工作的健康结果的现有文献，并确定了需要进一步研究的领域，以了解这些暴露对美国东南部移民拉丁裔工人的影响。
审查了与特定身体系统（例如，肌肉骨骼、呼吸系统）以及特定暴露源（例如，农药、噪音）相关的结果。证据最充分的是农业，特别是对化学暴露的关注。在美国东南部，几乎没有研究调查林业或渔业移民工人的暴露健康结果。
随着农业、林业和渔业劳动力中越来越多的拉丁裔移民，需要更多的研究来描述这一人群所经历的广泛的暴露和健康结果，特别是在林业和渔业。
