矽肺是一种职业病。职业上接触含矽粉尘的工人,当吸入的粉尘量在体内积累较多,有可能发生矽肺。采石是接触矽尘的职业之一。采石工人可发生矽肺早为医籍所记载,但采石工人不一定都知道这病是怎样得到的,怎样能预防。农村医务工作者对采石工矽肺防治应加以关心,这是因为采石这一行业很多是乡、村开办的,而在矽肺防治方面没有国营企业重视,故乡村采石工患矽肺者较多。 Silicosis is an occupational disease. Occupational exposure to silica dust-containing workers, when the inhalation of dust accumulation in the body more likely to occur silicosis. Quarrying is one of the occupations that come into contact with silica dust. Quarry workers can occur as early as medical records, but quarry workers do not always know how the disease was obtained and how they can be prevented. Rural medical workers should take care of quarry silicosis prevention and control because quarrying is a lot of industries in townships and villages and there is no state-owned enterprise in the prevention and control of silicosis. Therefore, there are more rural quarry workers with silicosis .
