Sulfonylureas (SUs) are commonly used as herbicides. Many farmers and other professionals use SUs for cereal, strawberry, and grape crops. This study examines the possible association between exposure to SUs herbicides and the risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D). The study presents three cases of unrelated agronomists who had used SUs for more than three decades and developed T2D. The objective was to investigate the association between occupational dermal and inhalation exposure to herbicides and T2D. Further studies with a larger sample size are needed to determine the association and to help develop prevention strategies.
磺酰脲类除草剂常用于农业生产。许多农民和其他专业人员在谷物、草莓和葡萄作物种植中使用磺酰脲类除草剂。本研究旨在探讨接触磺酰脲类除草剂与患2型糖尿病(T2D)风险之间的潜在关联。该研究报告了3例互不相关的农艺师病例,他们使用磺酰脲类除草剂超过30年,并患上了2型糖尿病。目的是调查职业性皮肤和吸入性接触除草剂与2型糖尿病之间的关联。需要进一步开展更大样本量的研究,以确定这种关联,并帮助制定预防策略。
