Project Abstract for Expanded Program in Chemical Exposure Surveillance In 2018, 2.1 million poisoning exposures were reported to US Poison Control Centers; 31,316 reports listed the reason for the call as occupational. Workplace injuries and illness caused by chemical exposures are preventable. Successful interventions to improve workplaces safety begin with having the data necessary to understand the magnitude of the problem. North Carolina uses a multipronged surveillance approach to respond to chemical releases and exposures, with an emphasis on monitoring and preventing occupational injuries. Three surveillance systems work together to monitor emergency chemical releases and exposures to two ubiquitous and harmful substances – carbon monoxide and pesticides. This data is leveraged to inform timely public health response and intervention for specific incidents. North Carolina is seeking expanded funding in surveillance of chemical exposures to: 1. Integrate chemical exposure surveillance, include acute pesticide poisonings chemical releases, and occupational carbon monoxide poisonings into a unified software platform for more effective response. 2. Increase capacity to conduct follow-back interviews and referrals for chemical exposures, including occupational carbon monoxide poisonings, pesticide poisonings. 3. Provide emergency response support and multidisciplinary occupational health consultations to protect public health and employees. 4. Maintain, develop and promote collaborative projects focused on emerging occupational health surveillance priorities with a committed network of in-state partners. 5. Work with out-of-state regional and national partners to design and promote best practices for occupational surveillance. Public health surveillance at the state levels has been greatly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Our staff have been deployed to the response since January 2020, which has delayed several of our routine surveillance activities. However, the recognition that occupation impacts health has received more national attention and public awareness during the COVID-19 pandemic. Although the lack of industry, occupation, race, and ethnicity information in many data sources has limited our ability as public health professionals to adequately respond to the pandemic, we can build on the national recognition to innovate how we monitor and improve occupational health in this county.

化学品暴露监测扩展计划项目摘要 2018年，美国毒物控制中心报告了210万起中毒事件; 报道称，打电话的原因是职业性的。工作场所伤害和疾病造成的 化学品暴露是可以预防的。改善工作场所安全的成功干预措施 开始时要有必要的数据来了解问题的严重性。 北卡罗来纳州采用多管齐下的监测方法来应对化学品释放， 工作重点是监测和预防职业伤害。三 监测系统共同监测紧急化学品释放和接触， 两种无处不在的有害物质--一氧化碳和杀虫剂。该数据 利用这些信息及时对特定事件作出公共卫生反应和干预。 北卡罗来纳州正在寻求扩大对化学品接触监测的资金，以： 1.综合化学品接触监测，包括急性农药中毒化学品 释放，和职业性一氧化碳中毒到一个统一的软件平台 更有效的回应。 2.提高对化学品进行后续访谈和转介的能力 暴露，包括职业性一氧化碳中毒、农药中毒。 3.提供应急响应支持和多学科职业健康 咨询，以保护公众健康和员工。 4.维持、发展和促进以新兴职业为重点的合作项目 卫生监督优先事项与一个坚定的国内合作伙伴网络。 5.与州外的区域和国家合作伙伴合作，设计和推广最佳的 职业监视的做法。 州一级的公共卫生监测受到COVID-19的极大影响 流行病自2020年1月以来，我们的工作人员已被部署到响应中， 推迟了我们的几次例行监视活动然而，承认占领 在COVID-19期间，健康受到了更多的国家关注和公众意识 流行病尽管许多国家缺乏行业、职业、种族和民族信息， 数据来源限制了我们作为公共卫生专业人员充分应对 我们可以在全国认可的基础上，创新我们的监测和改善方式， 这个县的职业健康。
