| Abstract |
Medical and ergonomic problems in the Ukraine agricultural sector are reviewed. Epidemiologic studies have revealed an increase in cardiovascular diseases, particularly among operators of agricultural machines and workers in contact with pesticides. Complications of pregnancy have been identified among women working in greenhouses and in sugar-beet growing. There is a need for an improvement in the hygiene and ergonomic standards of agricultural machinery design and for improvements in pesticide management. |
