Abstract

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has become a global public health problem. Risk factors for COPD include smoking, occupational dust, air pollutants, and genetic, developmental, and social factors. The list of occupational diseases of the International Labour Organization, the European Union and Taiwan, China all includes COPD caused by occupational dust. At present, there is no diagnostic standard for COPD caused by occupational dust in the mainland of China. In order to promote the full protection of workers' rights and interests and better prevent occupational COPD, this paper reviewed the association between occupational dust and COPD, so as to draw public attention to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease caused by occupational dust.

慢性阻塞性肺疾病(简称慢阻肺)已成为世界性的公共卫生问题。慢阻肺的危险因素有吸烟、职业性粉尘、空气污染物,以及遗传、发育、社会因素等。国际劳工组织、欧盟、我国台湾地区的职业病目录中均包含了职业性粉尘所致的慢阻肺,我国大陆目前尚缺乏职业性粉尘所致慢阻肺的诊断标准。为了促进劳动者权益的充分保障,更好地预防职业性慢阻肺,本文对职业性粉尘与慢阻肺的关联进行探讨,期望提高公众对职业性粉尘所致慢阻肺的重视。.
