Abstract：
Risk perception and use of personal protective equipment (PPE) in pesticide use were studied in 109 farmers of northern Greece. Farmers differed in the levels of pesticide risk perception, with 26.6% showing very low and low levels, 34.9% showing moderate levels, and 38.5% showing high and very high levels. Pesticide risk perception was positively correlated with education and large cultivated area, but negatively with age and non-farming as a main profession. Most farmers (82.6%) showed adequate use of PPE (mostly face mask and gloves). The use of PPE was positively correlated with education and risk perception, but negatively with age and non-farming as a main profession. Farmers with high levels of risk perception used 1.3 and 2.6 times more PPE items than those with moderate and low levels of risk perception, respectively. High education was a positive predictor, whereas main profession other than farming was a negative predictor of PPE use.
摘要：
在希腊北部的109名农民中研究了个人防护设备（PPE）在农药使用中的风险感知和使用。农民对农药风险的感知程度不同，26.6%的人显示非常低和很低的水平，34.9%显示中等水平，和38.5%显示高和非常高的水平。农药风险感知与受教育程度和耕地面积大呈正相关,但以年龄和非农业为主要职业的负面影响。大多数农民（82.6％）表示充分使用了PPE（主要是面罩和手套）。PPE的使用与教育和风险感知呈正相关，但以年龄和非农业为主要职业的负面影响。风险感知水平高的农民使用的PPE项目比风险感知水平中等和低的农民多1.3和2.6倍，分别。高等教育是一个积极的预测因素，而农业以外的主要职业是PPE使用的负预测因子。
