Research on musculoskeletal disorders among tomato farmworkers is limited. This pilot study aims to generate insights and preliminary data on tasks performed by tomato farmworkers at a demonstration test plot, evaluating associated ergonomic risk factors. A demonstration test plot was constructed to simulate tasks performed by tomato farmworkers. Muscle activity in the anterior deltoid and upper trapezius was measured using surface electromyography (sEMG) and compared among tasks. The intensity of physical activity during stake pounding, bucket tossing, and tying tasks was monitored using a GT9X activity monitor. Non-parametric ANOVA revealed that the upper trapezius exhibited the highest muscle activity in all tasks (

Archives of Environmental & Occupational Health

环境与职业健康档案，最初成立于 1919 年，当时是《工业卫生杂志》，也许最著名的是环境健康档案，它报道、整合和巩固了国内外相关领域的最新研究。环境健康，包括流行病学、毒理学、暴露评估、建模和生物统计学、风险科学和生物化学。档案馆基于最严格的方法和讨论发布新研究，以将这项工作放在公共卫生、公共政策和可持续性方面的视角，解决当前关注的主题，如化学品暴露的健康意义、有毒废物、新旧能源技术、工业过程和疾病的环境原因，如神经毒性、出生缺陷、癌症和慢性退行性疾病。 90 多年来，这本著名的期刊提供了关于环境因素对人类的影响的客观文献，在某些情况下，还提供了动物种群的影响以及决策所依据的具有实际重要性的信息。

The Archives of Environmental and Occupational Health is a journal dedicated to environmental and occupational health, originally established in 1919 as the Journal of Industrial Hygiene. The journal is renowned for reporting, integrating, and consolidating the latest research in related fields both domestically and internationally. Topics covered include epidemiology, toxicology, exposure assessment, modeling, biostatistics, risk science, and biochemistry. The journal publishes new research based on the most rigorous methods and discussions, aiming to address current issues from the perspectives of public health, public policy, and sustainability. These issues include the health implications of chemical exposure, toxic waste, new and old energy technologies, industrial processes, and environmental causes of diseases such as neurotoxicity, birth defects, cancer, and chronic degenerative diseases. For over 90 years, this esteemed journal has provided objective literature on the impact of environmental factors on humans, and in some cases, has also explored the effects on animal populations, offering information of practical significance for decision-making.
