This research aimed to determine safety behaviors of migrant agricultural workers of Mon ethnic in pesticide use in Kanchanaburi province. This research was a cross-sectional study with a sample group of 30 Mon migrant workers by using a questionnaire. The research result found out that the majority of the migrant farmers have good level of safety behaviors but they showed low level of knowledge in pesticides use. This study recommended that the related authorities should disseminate information and provide training program regarding safe use of pesticides for farmers and pesticide retailers by using comprehensible publishing media with illustration and local language, while the improvement of living and working conditions.

Исследование было направлено на определение безопасного поведения сельскохозяйственных рабочих-мигрантов моноэтнического происхождения при использовании пестицидов в провинции Канчанабури. Поперечное исследование выполнено на группе из 30 трудящихся-мигрантов путем анкетирования. Установлено, что большинство фермеров-мигрантов имеют высокий уровень безопасного поведения, но низкий уровень знаний в части использовании пестицидов. Рекомендовано распространение информации и реализация учебных программ по безопасному использованию пестицидов с использованием понятных печатных средств с иллюстрациями и на местных наречиях, в т. ч. с учетом улучшения условий жизни и труда фермеров-мигрантов. Ключевые слова: пестициды; безопасное использование; работники-мигранты

Introduction. The number of migrant workers tends to increase every year. Migrant workers recently play an important role in Thai agriculture sector because the declining number of Thai farmers caused agricultural worker shortage. Both Thai and non-Thai agricultural workers were not well protected by Thai labour law, even the agricultural works always show high risk in many processes of work. Pesticide poisoning was reported as health problem among farmers. The migrant workers had no understanding of the text written on
labels of dangerous chemical substances or working tools. The aim of this study was to determine safety behaviors of Mon agricultural workers in pesticide use in Tha Sao sub-district, Sai Yok district, Kanchanaburi province.
Methods. This study was a cross-sectional research, collecting data from 30 Mon citizenship who have been exposed to pesticide in Kanchanaburi province. A survey questionnaire asking about personal information, socio-economy factors, farmers' knowledge of pesticide use, working behaviorsof
Russian Journal of Occupational Health and Industrial Ecology — 2019; 59 (9)
farmers, and living and working conditions, was introduced. The percentage was calculated and the action plan for their safe work improvement was discussed.
Results. The study found out that the forty percent of the farmers showed low knowledge level of pesticide use, the moderateand high level for thirty-three and twenty-seven percent, respectively [1,2]. The result revealed that farmers receive information and suggestions related to pesticides from pesticide retailers. They have been trained about self-protection and safe pesticide use. Seventy percent showed safety behavior when using pesticide at the good level. Among unsafe behaviors, it was found that they do not use rubber gloves during chemical mixing process and do not read the chemical container label. While no using of personal protective equipment, grove and apron, was the problem when pesticide spraying [3]. For the environmental concern, it was found that most of farmers did not dispose the used pesticide containers properly after their work finished.
Conclusions. The safe use of pesticide behavior of migrant farmers demonstrated at good level but it was very interesting
that they showed low level of knowledge in pesticides use. It meant that they perform working protocol following the suggestion from pesticide retailers and some colleagues. Therefore, the improving of knowledge should be necessary for the sustainable chemical safety improvement. The need of appropriated knowledge dissemination must be urgent considered for better understanding of migrant farmers.

Silica and lung cancer: it can be controlled
Institute for Risk Assessment Sciences, Utrecht University, Utrecht, The Netherlands
In 1997 IARC ruled that there was sufficient evidence for inhaled crystalline silica in the form of quartz or cristobalite from occupational sources to be a proven human carcinogen This verdict was reaffirmed in 2009 by the established mechanistic event of impaired particle clearance leading to macrophage activation and persistent inflammation. Several initiatives, most notably the Industrial Minerals Association Europe's Dust Monitoring Programme and the European Network for Silica initiative in which 15 industry sector organisations and their counterpart trade union federations collaboratively try to control exposure to respirable crystalline silica and provide adequate health care to its workers, has been initiated since the early 2000's. There is evidence that collaboration between industry, occupational health services and academia has resulted in lower exposures of the workforce and it has shown that in economic hard times it is hard to keep the momentum of ever improving control and lower (lung cancer) risks.

Диоксид кремния и рак легких: возможность контроля
Институт наук по оценке риска, Университет Утрехта, Утрехт, Нидерланды
В 1997 г. МАИР были получены доказательства того, что вдыхаемый кристаллический кремнезем в форме кварца или кристобалита в условиях профессионального воздействия является доказанным канцерогеном, что было подтверждено в 2009 г. установленным механическим явлением нарушения клиренса частиц, приводящим к активации макрофагов и стойкому воспалению. С начала 2000-х деятельность 15 промышленных секторов совместно с профсоюзами в рамках программы мониторинга пыли Европейской Ассоциации промышленных минералов и Европейской сети по Кремнезему позволяет контролировать воздействие вдыхаемого кристаллического кремнезема и предоставлять адекватную медицинскую помощь своим работникам что указывает н возможность контроля и снижения риска рака легких.
