However, there is little evidence defining whether pesticide use is associated with respiratory symptoms.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>OBJECTIVES<\/strong><br \/>\nThis cross-sectional study was conducted with 300 vegetable farmers in southern Ghana (Akumadan). Data on pesticide use was collected with an interviewed-administered questionnaire. The concentration of seven organochlorine pesticides and 3 pyrethroid pesticides was assayed in urine collected from a sub-population of 100 vegetable farmers by a gas chromatograph equipped with an electron capture detector (GC-ECD).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>RESULTS<\/strong><br \/>\nA statistically significant exposure-response relationship of years per day spent mixing\/applying fumigant with wheezing [30-60 days\/year: prevalence ratio (PR)=1.80 (95% CI 1.30, 2.50); &gt;60days\/year: 3.25 (1.70-6.33), p for trend=0.003] and hours per day spent mixing\/applying fumigant with wheezing [1-2h\/day: 1.20 (1.02-1.41), 3-5h\/day: 1.45 (1.05-1.99), &gt;5h\/day: 1.74 (1.07-2.81), p for trend=0.0225]; days per year spent mixing\/applying fungicide with wheezing [30-60 days\/year: 2.04 (1.31-3.17); &gt;60days\/year: 4.16 (1.72-10.08), p for trend=0.0017] and h per day spent mixing\/applying fungicide with phlegm production [1-2h\/day: 1.25 (1.05-1.47), 3-5h\/day: 1.55 (1.11-2.17), &gt;5h\/day: 1.93 (1.17-3.19), p for trend=0.0028] and with wheezing [1-2h\/day: 1.10 (1.00-1.50), 3-5h\/day: 1.20 (1.11-1.72), &gt;5h\/day: 1.32 (1.09-2.53), p for trend=0.0088]; h per day spent mixing\/applying insecticide with phlegm production [1-2h\/day: 1.23 (1.09-1.62), 3-5h\/day: 1.51 (1.20-2.58), &gt;5h\/day: 1.85 (1.31-4.15), p for trend=0.0387] and wheezing [1-2h\/day: 1.22 (1.02-1.46), 3-5h\/day: 1.49 (1.04-2.12), &gt;5h\/day: 1.81 (1.07-3.08), p for trend=0.0185] were observed. Statistically significant exposure-response association was also observed for a combination of activities that exposes farmers to pesticide with all 3 respiratory symptoms. Furthermore, significant exposure-response associations for 3 organochlorine insecticides: beta-HCH, heptachlor and endosulfan sulfate were noted.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:justify\"><strong>CONCLUSIONS<\/strong><br \/>\nIn conclusion, vegetable farmers in Ghana may be at increased risk for respiratory symptoms as a result of exposure to pesticides.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","mots_cles":[],"class_list":["post-19321","resume","type-resume","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":{"adresse":"Biological, Environmental & Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health, College of Health Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana; Department of Immunology, Noguchi Memorial Institute for Medical Research, College of Health Sciences, University of Ghana, Legon, Accra, Ghana.
