During the past two decades a number of inherited polymorphic proteins and enzymes have been identified in different ethnic groups. Certain biochemical markers appear to be associated with susceptibility to harmful effects of the environment. This paper reviews the potential for using these markers to determine whether affected persons ought to be excluded from certain jobs or from the environment(s) of specific settings in the workplace. This paper will also attempt to identify the criteria that should be used before it is scientifically and ethically justified to use these markers to "protect" workers and/or persons from harm by not allowing them to work in a specific setting or with specific agents to which they have been deemed to be at special risk for injury.
在过去二十年中，不同种族群体中已鉴定出多种遗传性多态蛋白和酶。某些生化标志物似乎与对环境有害影响的易感性有关。本文综述了利用这些标志物来确定受影响者是否应被排除在某些工作或工作场所特定环境之外的可能性。本文还将试图确定在科学和伦理上有理由使用这些标志物以通过不让工人和/或人员在特定环境中工作或接触他们被认为有特殊受伤风险的特定物质来“保护”他们免受伤害之前应采用的标准。
