The export of hazards to developing countries, frequently associated with the transfer of technology, is an increasing public health problem. It may arise from the export of hazardous products and wastes, or from the transfer of hazardous industries in the absence of appropriate safeguards. Multinational corporations bear a major responsibility for having lower standards of health protection in manufacturing and marketing in the developing countries than in home-country operations. These firms are coming under growing international pressure from concerned citizens, unions, environmental groups, national governments and international organizations, religious groups, the media, and public health professionals.
向发展中国家输出危害，这一现象常与技术转让相关联，正日益成为一个公共卫生问题。它可能源于危险产品和废物的出口，也可能源于在缺乏适当保障措施的情况下危险产业的转移。跨国公司在发展中国家的生产和销售中所采用的健康保护标准低于其在母国运营时的标准，对此负有主要责任。这些公司正面临来自关注此事的公民、工会、环保组织、各国政府和国际组织、宗教团体、媒体以及公共卫生专业人员日益增大的国际压力。
