This paper examines the development of the concept of the hypersusceptible worker, as advanced by H. E. Stokinger and his associates. It is argued that this concept enabled industrial toxicologists to organize knowledge about workers' reactions to toxicity so as to sustain a professional and methodological ideology which reflects the relationship between industrial toxicology and capitalist industry. Moreover, it is argued that it is this aspect of hypersusceptibility, rather than its practical utility to specific corporations, that is most important. Constraints on implementation of screening programs based on the ideas of genetic hypersusceptibility are also discussed.
本文考察了由H. E. 斯托金格及其同事提出的超敏工人概念的发展。有人认为，这一概念使工业毒理学家能够整理有关工人对毒性反应的知识，从而维持一种反映工业毒理学与资本主义工业之间关系的专业和方法论意识形态。此外，有人认为，超敏性的这一方面，而非其对特定公司的实际效用，才是最重要的。文中还讨论了基于基因超敏性理念实施筛查项目时所面临的限制。
