摘要:
The Occupational Medical Forum presents questions of general interest received by the AOMA Committee on Occupational Medical Practice. Answers usually are prepared by the Committee, representing the composite best judgment of its members. Such replies do not necessarily represent an official position of the American Occupational Medical Association. In some cases, the responses will be prepared at the Committee's request by consultants with special qualifications in specific fields. Questioners are not named. Readers who wish to submit questions to the Committee should address inquiries to: Committee on Occupational Medical Practice, American Occupational Medical Association, 150 N. Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60606.

摘要:
A study was conducted to determine the associations between occupational status and detailed measures of smoking exposure: ever vs. never smoking, type of tobacco used, current vs. ex-cigarette smoking, amount smoked, age began, and tar yield of the usual brand smoked. Data were obtained between the years 1977 and 1979 as part of a large-scale epidemiological study of tobacco use. Subjects interviewed were 2,528 white males aged 41 to 70 while they were patients in hospitals located in five U.S. cities. Thirty-eight percent of the sample had cancer of a site not previously linked with use of tobacco and 62% had non-cancer conditions also unrelated to tobacco exposure. It was found that men in professional and technical occupations showed a markedly higher rate of never smoking than did men from all other occupations who showed only slight differences among themselves. The intensity of other cigarette smoking variables — current vs. ex-smoking, age began, and tar yield of cigarette smoked (but not number per day) — varied significantly by occupational level, with higher levels of smoking intensity observed among men in blue-collar than among those in white-collar occupations. These findings indicate that an appropriate evaluation of an occupationally related disease also affected by smoking must include detailed and comprehensive smoking data. Moreover, it can be expected that men in occupations associated with higher indices of smoking intensity will have higher rates of tobacco-related diseases than those in occupations with lower cigarette intensity exposures.

摘要:
A group of handfinishers of zirconium metal reactor components questioned whether the dust to which they were exposed would cause chronic lung disease or cancer, or both. To investigate this possibility, the work environment was surveyed, and 32 male employees who had worked as handfinishers from one to seventeen years, were compared to a group of controls in reference to a respiratory questionnaire, chest x-ray findings, and expiratory lung function tests. The controls were matched to the handfinishers for age, sex, payroll status and smoking history. No significant differences were found between the exposed and the control groups. Results of earlier animal respiratory studies vary from no effect to definite pathology. Previous employee exposure studies are short-term and have methodological shortcomings. It would appear that lifetime animal respiratory studies and systematic epidemiological studies of employee populations with long-term inhalation exposure are needed to demonstrate unequivocally whether zirconium and zirconium compounds are harmful.

摘要:
Relationships to CHD risk factors of work environment variables, of the Type A behavior pattern, and of their interaction were studied in 384 male salaried workers. Except for an association between physical comfort in the work environment and systolic blood pressure, no significant independent relationships were found between any of the work environment variables or the Type A behavior pattern and coronary heart disease (CHD) risk factors. Type A workers who described their work environments as encouraging autonomy or being high in peer cohesion had lower blood pressures than those who did not. The reverse was found for Type Bs. Type Bs who described their environments as low in physical comfort had higher systolic blood pressure than those who did not. These significant interactions are discussed from the perspective of person-environment fit. Future directions for research and implications for CHD risk reduction are presented.

摘要:
The primary goal of occupational health was defined in 1950 by the World Health Organization as follows: Occupational health should aim at: the promotion and maintenance of the highest degree of physical, mental and social well-being of workers in all occupations; the prevention among workers of departures from health caused by their working conditions; the protection of workers in their employment from risks resulting from factors adverse to health; the placing and maintenance of the worker in an occupational environment adapted to his physiological and psychological equipment; and, to summarize: the adaptation of work to man and of each man to his job.
