这项研究试图调查菲律宾最大蔬菜产区农民中可能与农药接触有关的最普遍的健康问题，并确定农民与农药施用有关的常见工作做法。采用基于社区和区域的整群抽样方法，在p=0.05显著性水平下，选取400名农户进行研究。使用的工具包括:1)调查问卷;2)毒理学和神经学评估的体检指南;3)血提取用于血胆碱酯酶、全血计数和血清肌酐。大多数农民使用拟除虫菊酯(70.3%)和有机磷(67.5%)。氨基甲酸酯(56.8%)。41.8%临床诊断异常。排在前三位的身体异常包括耳朵问题(23.8%)、口咽肿胀和炎症(21.3%)和眼睛问题(17%)。9.2%神经系统检查异常。 17.7% had abnormal hemoglobin values, indicating anemia. 93 (23.3%) of the blood cholinesterase results were abnormal indicating organophosphate poisoning. Statistical analysis showed association of abnormal neurologic examination with certain unsafe work practices. This study has shown the health risks of pesticide exposure. It is imperative that local government push for better regulation on the use of pesticides targeting not only farmers, but also manufacturers and traders of pesticides.
