摘要：Studies of dust on farms conducted to date, both in Poland and abroad,
concern only health risk due to dust while performing selected occupations. The present
study is a subsequent attempt to determine the year-round exposure to dust at
workplaces in agriculture, and covers the workplace of a private farmer which is typical
of Polish agriculture: a female farmer who is running a family farm together with her
husband. Studies conducted on 10 mixed production family farms showed that women
actively participate in farm activities. The occupations performed by women focus
around the household - mainly the care of animals; whereas their field work consists
primarily of manual jobs associated with crop cultivation, as well as auxiliary activities
during harvest. Although the level of exposure to dust determined for female farmers
remains statistically within the range of allowable conditions, this factor should be
considered as an important health risk due to its high concentrations and pathogenic
components.
