“…For these reasons, agriculture workers may experience health problems related to their potential exposure to the aforementioned airborne pollutants (ILO 2011; Lamprecht et al 2007). In particular, the respiratory system is one of the most affected by this kind of exposure: indeed, as reported by Babaoglu and collaborators (Babaoglu 2022), different on-eld research showed high levels of respiratory problems among agricultural workers, such as (i) asthma, (ii) chronic bronchitis, and (iii) other respiratory dysfunctions (Chatzi et al 2005; Dalphin et al 1998;Gainet et al 2007;Zejda and Dosman 1993). For the reasons reported above, the evaluation of rural-related airborne pollutants and occupational exposure to airborne pollutants in agricultural settings is of particular interest, in terms of risk assessment for human health.…”

“…In this context, agricultural workers are an occupational group that should be given priority in terms of public health (ILO 2011). Exposure in agricultural contexts could be indeed related to different pollutants, such as (i) inorganic dust, (ii) organic dust (containing microorganisms, mycotoxins, or allergens), (iii) decomposition gases, and (iv) pesticides (Babaoglu 2022). For these reasons, agriculture workers may experience health problems related to their potential exposure to the aforementioned airborne pollutants (ILO 2011; Lamprecht et al 2007).…”

Studies on air quality in rural environments are fundamental to obtain first-hand data for the determination of base emissions of air pollutants, to assess the impact of rural-specific airborne pollutants, to model pollutants dispersion, and to develop proper pollution mitigation technologies. The literature lacks a systematic review based on the evaluation of the techniques and methods used for the sampling/monitoring (S/M) of atmospheric pollutants in agricultural settings, which highlights the shortcomings and the need of future studies in this field. The aim of this work is to review the study design applied for on-field monitoring campaigns of airborne pollutants in rural environments, and to discuss the possible needs and future developments in this field. Results of this literature review, based on the revision of 23 scientific papers, allowed to indicate: (i) the basic characteristics related to the study design that should always be reported; (ii) the main techniques and analyses used in exposure assessment studies conducted in this type of settings; (iii) contextual parameters and descriptors of the S/M site, that should be considered to best support the results obtained from the different studies. Future studies carried out to monitor the airborne pollution in the rural/agriculture field should consider the most important boundary information, to better characterize the S/M site. In addition, the study design could include the use of multiparametric monitors for the contextual measurement of different atmospheric pollutants (as well as meteorological parameters), because of the complex system in which these S/M are performed.
