This study investigates the possible influence of global climate change (GCC) on exposure to plant protection products (PPP) in the workplace.
The paper has evaluated the main potential relationships between GCC and occupational exposure to pesticides, by highlighting how global warming might affect their future use and by reviewing its possible consequence on workers' exposure.
Global warming, influencing the spatial and temporal distribution and proliferation of weeds, the impact of already present insect pests and pathogens and the introduction of new infesting species, could cause a changed use of pesticides in terms of higher amounts, doses and types of products applied, so influencing the human exposure to them during agricultural activities. GCC, in particular heat waves, may also potentially have impact on workers' susceptibility to pesticides absorption.
Prevention policies of health in the workplace must be ready to address new risks from occupational exposure to pesticide, presumably different from current risks, since an increased use may be expected.
本研究调查全球气候变化（GCC）对工作场所接触植物保护产品（PPP）的可能影响。
本文通过强调全球变暖如何可能影响农药的未来使用，并回顾其对工人接触的可能后果，评估了GCC与职业接触农药之间的主要潜在关系。
全球变暖影响杂草的时空分布和扩散、现有害虫和病原体的影响以及新入侵物种的引入，可能导致农药使用发生变化，即施用的产品数量、剂量和类型增加，从而影响农业活动期间人类对农药的接触。GCC，特别是热浪，也可能对工人吸收农药的易感性产生影响。
工作场所的健康预防政策必须准备好应对职业接触农药带来的新风险，这些风险可能与当前风险不同，因为预计农药使用会增加。
