Traditional covert influence of industry on occupational and environmental health (OEH) policies has turned brazenly overt in the last several years. More than ever before the OEH community is witnessing the perverse influence and increasing control by industry interests. Government has failed to support independent, public health-oriented practitioners and their organizations, instead joining many corporate endeavors to discourage efforts to protect the health of workers and the community. Scientists and clinicians must unite scientifically, politically, and practically for the betterment of public health and common good. Working together is the only way public health professionals can withstand the power and pressure of industry. Until public health is removed from politics and the influence of corporate money, real progress will be difficult to achieve and past achievements will be lost.
在过去几年里，行业对职业与环境卫生（OEH）政策的传统隐性影响已公然变得明目张胆。职业与环境卫生领域比以往任何时候都更能见证行业利益的有害影响和日益增强的控制。政府未能支持独立的、以公共卫生为导向的从业者及其组织，反而加入了许多企业行为，阻碍保护工人和社区健康的努力。科学家和临床医生必须在科学、政治和实践层面团结起来，以促进公共卫生和共同利益。携手合作是公共卫生专业人员抵御行业权力和压力的唯一途径。在公共卫生摆脱政治和企业资金的影响之前，很难取得真正的进展，过去的成就也将付诸东流。
