目的评估全国不同行业和职业群体中当前工作场所暴露于潜在皮肤危害、二手烟（SHS）和户外工作的流行程度。此外，评估这些群体中工作场所长期暴露于蒸汽、气体、粉尘和烟雾（VGDF）的全国流行程度。方法数据来源于2010年全国健康访谈调查（NHIS）。NHIS是一项针对美国非收容人口的多阶段概率抽样调查。患病率及其方差使用苏丹an计算，以解释复杂的NHIS样本设计。结果2010年的数据来自17524名在访谈前12个月工作过的成年人。危险工作场所暴露率最高的通常是农业、采矿和建筑业。在采矿和建筑行业，经常接触化学品或皮肤接触化学品以及在工作中经常接触二手烟的非吸烟者的流行率最高。户外工作在农业（85%）、建筑业（73%）和采矿业（65%）中最为常见。最后，频繁的职业暴露在VGDF中最常见的是采矿业（67%）、农业（53%）和建筑工人（51%）。结论我们确定了潜在危险工作场所暴露率最高的行业和职业，并为调查和干预活动提供了目标。点。中华医学杂志，2013,26(6):635-646。(c) 2012 Wiley期刊有限公司
Objective Assess the national prevalence of current workplace exposure to potential skin hazards, secondhand smoke (SHS), and outdoor work among various industry and occupation groups. Also, assess the national prevalence of chronic workplace exposure to vapors, gas, dust, and fumes (VGDF) among these groups. Methods Data were obtained from the 2010 National Health Interview Survey (NHIS). NHIS is a multistage probability sample survey of the civilian non-institutionalized population of the US. Prevalence rates and their variances were calculated using SUDAAN to account for the complex NHIS sample design. Results The data for 2010 were available for 17,524 adults who worked in the 12 months that preceded interview. The highest prevalence rates of hazardous workplace exposures were typically in agriculture, mining, and construction. The prevalence rate of frequent handling of or skin contact with chemicals, and of non-smokers frequently exposed to SHS at work was highest in mining and construction. Outdoor work was most common in agriculture (85%), construction (73%), and mining (65%). Finally, frequent occupational exposure to VGDF was most common among mining (67%), agriculture (53%), and construction workers (51%). Conclusion We identified industries and occupations with the highest prevalence of potentially hazardous workplace exposures, and provided targets for investigation and intervention activities. Am.
