ILO/WHO全球消除矽肺的国际规划

THE ILO/WHO INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMME ON GLOBAL ELIMINATION OF SILICOSIS

矽肺能使工人致残，至今仍然是世界上最重要的职业卫生问题之一。由于缺乏有效特异的治疗矽肺的措施，保护工人健康的唯一办法是控制矽尘的接触。本文就所需要采取的措施．职业接触限值陈述了目前国际上的趋势，最后介绍了ILO／WHO全球消除矽肺的国际规划。只有通过广泛的国际合作，各学科专业的共同努力及各有关经济部门的参与和支持，ILO／WHO全球消除矽肺的国际规划才能在全球实现。

With its potential to cause physical disability,silicosis continues to be one of the most important occupational health problems in the world. In the absence of effective specific treatment of silicosis,the only approach towards the protection of workers' health is the control of exposure to silica-containing dusts. The present paper presents the action needed,occupational exposure limits for control silicosis,and finally introduces the ILO/WHO International Program on Global Elimination of Silicosis. only through a very broad collaboration at the international level,supported by joint multidisciplinary efforts of occupational health professionals and concerned economec sectors in each country,can this goal of global elimination of silicosis be achieved.
