Health status among greenhouse workers exposed to different levels of pesticides: A genetic matching analysis

Abstract (1) Objective: Greenhouse workers are considered a special occupational group who are exposed to more toxic and harmful substances than ordinary farmers. The health problem of this group is a public health problem that warrants attention. Taking greenhouse workers in Ningxia, China, as the...
