Along with the rapid development of economy and urbanization, noise and air pollution are becoming major occupational health hazards in the process of industrial production. In this study, we collected data from 7293 industrial workers in China. The association between occupational exposure of noise and dust and blood pressure was investigated. Controlling for demographic variables, including sex, age, and length of service, a stepwise regression model with backward elimination was constructed. The results showed that both noise and dust decreased the level of systolic blood pressure (p < 0.001). This finding prompted the manufacturing industry to reduce noise and dust hazards and protect the occupational health of workers. Prospective studies in different populations are still required to verify the net contribution of noise and dust to the decrease in blood pressure.
随着经济和城市化的快速发展，噪声和空气污染在工业生产过程中成为主要的职业健康危害。本研究在中国收集了 7293 名工业工人的数据。调查了职业暴露于噪声和粉尘与血压之间的关系。在控制人口统计学变量（包括性别、年龄和工龄）的情况下，建立了一个带有向后消除的逐步回归模型。结果表明，噪声和粉尘都会降低收缩压水平（p<0.001）。这一发现促使制造业减少噪声和粉尘危害，保护工人的职业健康。仍需要在不同人群中进行前瞻性研究，以验证噪声和粉尘对血压降低的净贡献。
