Occupational Lung Disease is an oldest but still a biggest problem in occupational health.
Steering Committee members of the Japan Society for Occupational Health (JSOH) Occupational Lung Disease Study Group selected and summarized current topics on occupational lung diseases based on expert opinion, as informed by governmental regulation, public health concerns, and frequently discussed in related academic conferences.
The topics included in this review are professional education in medical screening skills, 2014 update of Helsinki Criteria, respiratory diseases found in the earthquake and tsunami affected regions, newly recognized occupational lung diseases, and potential respiratory health hazards.
Although occupational lung diseases seem to stay as one of the major concerns in occupational health, screening tools and control measures are standardized for the better prevention of the diseases. As this health problem usually occurs in where the most actively economically developing area is, the patients tend to increase in emerging economic powers with huge population.
职业性肺部疾病是职业健康领域最古老但仍是最大的问题。
日本职业健康学会（JSOH）职业肺部疾病研究组的指导委员会成员根据专家意见，参考政府法规、公共卫生关注的问题以及相关学术会议上的讨论情况，选择并总结了当前职业性肺部疾病的相关主题。
本综述涵盖的主题包括医学筛查技能的专业教育、2014 年赫尔辛基标准更新、地震和海啸受灾地区发现的呼吸疾病、新认定的职业性肺部疾病以及潜在的呼吸道健康危害。
尽管职业性肺部疾病似乎仍然是职业健康的主要关注点之一，但筛查工具和控制措施已经标准化，以更好地预防这些疾病。由于此类健康问题通常发生在经济最活跃、发展最快的地区，因此患者往往会在人口众多的新兴经济体中增加。
