BACKGROUND
Occupational end users of pesticides may experience bodily absorption of the pesticide products they use, risking possible health effects. The purpose of this paper is to provide a guide for researchers, practitioners, and policy makers working in the field of agricultural health or other areas where occupational end use of pesticides and exposure issues are of interest.
METHODS
This paper characterizes the health effects of pesticide exposure, jobs associated with pesticide use, pesticide-related tasks, absorption of pesticides through the skin, and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) for reducing exposure.
CONCLUSIONS
Although international and national efforts to reduce pesticide exposure through regulatory means should continue, it is difficult in the agricultural sector to implement engineering or system controls. It is clear that use of PPE does reduce dermal pesticide exposure but compliance among the majority of occupationally exposed pesticide end users appears to be poor. More research is needed on higher-order controls to reduce pesticide exposure and to understand the reasons for poor compliance with PPE and identify effective training methods.
背景
农药的职业终端用户可能会在身体上吸收他们所使用的农药产品，从而面临可能的健康影响风险。本文旨在为从事农业健康领域或其他关注农药职业终端使用及接触问题的领域的研究人员、从业者和政策制定者提供一份指南。
方法
本文描述了农药接触的健康影响、与农药使用相关的工作、与农药有关的任务、农药经皮肤的吸收以及用于减少接触的个人防护装备（PPE）的使用情况。
结论
尽管通过监管手段减少农药接触的国际和国家努力应继续，但在农业部门实施工程或系统控制存在困难。显然，使用个人防护装备确实能减少农药经皮肤的接触，但大多数职业性接触农药的终端用户的依从性似乎较差。需要开展更多关于更高层次控制措施的研究，以减少农药接触，并了解个人防护装备依从性差的原因，确定有效的培训方法。
