Abstract

A cross-sectional study was conducted with 3,291 maize farmers enrolled whose main roles were herbicide applicators and assistant applicators. This study aimed to compare the prevalence of respiratory symptoms and the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) between herbicide applicators and assistant applicators, and determine factors associated with respiratory symptoms. Our results suggest that wheeze and dyspnea were associated with the task on the farm (adj. OR = 10.33 for wheeze and 24.13 for dyspnea), amount of herbicide use (adj. OR = 1.95 for wheeze and 1.41 for dyspnea), frequency of herbicide use (adj. OR = 2.87 for wheeze and 4.08 for dyspnea), not always wearing a mask (adj. OR = 1.49 for wheeze and 3.17 for dyspnea), not always wearing gloves (adj. OR = 2.63 for wheeze and 2.44 for dyspnea), and not always wearing goggles (adj.OR = 2.01 for dyspnea) after adjusting for confounding factors.

玉米田除草剂施药者和辅助施药者呼吸道症状的相关因素

对3291名玉米农民进行了横断面研究，他们的主要角色是除草剂施用者和辅助施用者。本研究旨在比较除草剂施药者和辅助施药者之间呼吸道症状的患病率和个人防护装备(PPE)的使用情况，并确定与呼吸道症状相关的因素。我们的研究结果表明,与任务相关的喘息和呼吸困难在农场(形容词或24.13 = 10.33喘息和呼吸困难),大量的除草剂使用突出或1.41 = 1.95喘息和呼吸困难),除草剂的使用频率(形容词或4.08 = 2.87喘息和呼吸困难),并不总是戴着面具(形容词或3.17 = 1.49喘息和呼吸困难),并不总是戴手套(形容词或2.44 = 2.63喘息和呼吸困难),在调整混杂因素后，不经常佩戴护目镜(呼吸困难患者的or = 2.01)。

期刊介绍： Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health , originally founded in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene, and perhaps most well-known as the Archives of Environmental Health, reports, integrates, and consolidates the latest research, both nationally and internationally, from fields germane to environmental health, including epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling and biostatistics, risk science and biochemistry. Publishing new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussion to put this work in perspective for public health, public policy, and sustainability, the Archives addresses such topics of current concern as health significance of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and the environmental causation of disease such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For more than 90 years, this noted journal has provided objective documentation of the effects of environmental agents on human and, in some cases, animal populations and information of practical importance on which decisions are based.
