PURPOSE OF REVIEW
The aim of this review is to examine the prevalence of and impact of environmental exposures in the workplace and home on immigrant respiratory health in the USA.
RECENT FINDINGS
Few studies report levels of workplace and home environmental exposures for immigrant children and adults, and documenting these findings is an important first step to addressing their respiratory health concerns. Rates of respiratory disease are lowest upon first arrival and increase with duration of residency in the USA. Community Health Workers may be an efficacious intervention to reducing exposures and improving lung health among immigrant populations. Immigrant children and adults have a high risk of occupational and home environmental exposures that can negatively affect their respiratory health. While limited studies exist, more documentation of these exposures and their impact on immigrant person's respiratory health are needed to begin to tackle these disparities.
审查目的
本次审查旨在研究美国工作场所和家庭环境暴露对移民呼吸健康的普遍性和影响。
最新发现
很少有研究报告移民儿童和成人的工作场所和家庭环境暴露水平，记录这些发现是解决他们呼吸健康问题的重要第一步。呼吸道疾病的发病率在初次到达时最低，随着在美国居住时间的延长而增加。社区卫生工作者可能是减少移民人群暴露和改善肺部健康的有效干预措施。移民儿童和成人面临着很高的职业和家庭环境暴露风险，这可能会对他们的呼吸健康产生负面影响。虽然现有研究有限，但需要更多地记录这些暴露及其对移民人群呼吸健康的影响，以开始解决这些差异。
