Trial summary

Although professionals working on dairy cattle farms come into contact with a wide range of chemicals and microbiological agents, little is known about this possible exposure, which occurs a priori via inhalation and skin contact. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Expositions Chimique et Microbiologique Des Femmes Dans Les Exploitations Bovines laitières

Although professionals working on dairy cattle farms come into contact with a wide range of chemicals and microbiological agents, little is known about this possible exposure, which occurs a priori via inhalation and skin contact.

The aim of this research is to gain a better understanding of this chemical and microbiological exposure, and this research focuses in particular on professional women working on dairy cattle farms , who may be in charge of specific activities not commonly carried out by professional men.

Exposure to pesticides, antiparasitic products and disinfectants will be the first substances to be investigated, followed by other chemical or particulate compounds present in everyday and professional environments. Exposure to these compounds will be measured by their presence in the urine, feces (if possible) and hair of around 60 participating women, as well as in bovine tuft/head hair and, if possible, air samples taken in milking buildings.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Exposure to chemicals of women working on dairy farms

    Concentrations of pesticide molecules, biocides, disinfectants and microbiological agents, measured in

    • urines of professional women working on dairy farms,
    • the hair of professional women working on dairy farms,
    • faeces of professional women from dairy farms,
    • tuft/head hair from females in the herd on farms where female professionals work,
    • environmental samples of pesticide molecules (PPPs, pesticides), biocides, disinfectants and microbiological agents.

    Measured: At inclusion and at the end of the follow-up (for hair-concentrations), and during specific periods of agricultural activities (with two 4-day periods of urine sample collection, one period of faeces collection, and one week of environmental sampling)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Exposure to other chemicals

    Concentrations measured in urine, hair, feces, toupillon/head hair and environmental samples from the farm of other chemical compounds present in the participants' professional uses and environments.

    Measured: At inclusion and at the end of the follow-up (for hair-concentrations), and during specific periods of agricultural activities (with two 4-day periods of urine sample collection, one period of faeces collection, and one week of environmental sampling)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Occupational Exposure to Chemicals, run by Institut National de la Santé Et de la Recherche Médicale, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Exposure to chemicals of women working on dairy farms (time frame: At inclusion and at the end of the follow-up (for hair-concentrations), and during specific periods of agricultural activities (with two 4-day periods of urine sample collection, one period of faeces collection, and one week of environmental sampling)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Mar 2026.
