Organic farming has been promoted in Thailand by King Rama the ninth. In addition to being healthier for consumers, organic farming is healthier for agricultural workers. The cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the frequency of chronic disease conditions, accidents, health symptoms, and ergonomic problems among 243 conventional (pesticide using) farmers and 235 organic farmers. Data were collected using questionnaires in face-to-face interviews. The results indicated symptoms that could be related to pesticide exposure (skin rashes, water blisters, headache, dizziness, and loss of appetite) were significantly higher among conventional farmers than organic farmers. The organic farmers reported significantly more health symptoms such as hives, chest pain, mild fever, flatulence, and frequent urination than the conventional farmers. The organic farmers reported significantly more pain, numbness, or weakness in the wrists/hands, fingers, upper back, hips, and ankles/feet than conventional farmers.

使用农药的传统农民和有机农民之间在事故，健康症状和人体工程学问题上的差异。

第九任国王拉玛在泰国提倡有机农业。有机农业不仅对消费者健康，对农业工作者也更健康。进行了横断面研究，以调查243名常规（使用农药的）农民和235名有机农民的慢性病状况，事故，健康症状和人体工程学问题的发生频率。在面对面访问中使用问卷收集数据。结果表明，可能与农药接触有关的症状（皮疹，水疱，头痛，头晕和食欲不振）在传统农户中明显高于有机农户。有机农户报告的健康症状比传统农户明显多，例如荨麻疹，胸痛，轻度发烧，肠胃气胀和尿频。
