Prevention is the ultimate purpose of efforts to identify and understand occupational lung diseases. A major challenge for this decade will be the effective implementation of preventive programs which allow utilization of the developing information base on incidence and pathogenesis. Much of the basic methodology for prevention has yet to be developed, and many basic social and philosophic decisions will be forthcoming. It is clear that prevention of occupational lung disease will require a cooperative effort among pulmonary physicians, occupational physicians, epidemiologists, industrial hygienists, basic researchers, toxicologists, government regulators and members of many other disciplines.
预防是识别和了解职业性肺病所做努力的最终目的。本十年的一项重大挑战将是有效实施预防计划，从而能够利用有关发病率和发病机制的不断发展的信息库。许多基本的预防方法尚未开发出来，许多基本的社会和哲学决策也即将出台。显然，预防职业性肺病需要肺病医生、职业医生、流行病学家、工业卫生学家、基础研究人员、毒理学家、政府监管人员以及许多其他学科的成员共同努力。
