The U.S. farm work force numbers approximately 6.5 million. The health risks connected with their farm tasks are many and varied. Accidents and illnesses are caused by tractors, specialized farming equipment, chemicals, zoonoses, fungi, sensitizers, and the environment of confinement buildings. The scattered nature of the work force makes preventive measures difficult to implement.
美国农业劳动力约有650万。与他们的农场工作相关的健康风险多种多样。事故和疾病由拖拉机、专业农业设备、化学品、人畜共患病、真菌、致敏剂以及密闭建筑环境等引发。劳动力的分散性质使得预防措施难以实施。
