Analysis of the progress of silicosis prevention and treatment [Keywords] silicosis prevention, silicosis treatment Silicosis is a pneumoconiosis in the most common type, is caused by long-term inhalation contains a large amount of free silica (SiO2) dust, the main pulmonary nodular fibrosis disease. Occupational lung disease commonly seen in the world, in the developing countries, the prevalence of silicosis in the United States, about 2 million more workers in the occupational silicosis danger occurs [1]. Between 8% to 56% [2 in our Silicosis is one of the higher incidence of occupational diseases, the incidence of silicosis in China showed a rising trend, caused bodily harm and economic loss has been widespread concern, affect social sustained and healthy development of major public health and social problems, silicosis prevention and control situation is very grim. exploring prevent or inhibit the development of silicosis change, enhance immunity effective therapeutic approach, more research scholars silicosis prevention and treatment, are summarized below. 1 silicosis prevention progress Currently the silicosis no specific treatment, prevention is still to reduce or to avoid silicosis happened foundation. SiO2 dust exposure levels monitoring, as well as the employer and workers exposed to risk education, control of exposure is an important means to prevent silicosis. Comprehensive dust control measures taken by the employer to improve ventilation devices and local ventilation, closed process, wet work, equipment maintenance and overhaul, and the strengthening of individual protection, including the wearing of special effects dust masks comply with dustproof operating procedures, the industrialization of raw materials to replace can be an effective means to reduce Workers SiO2 dust exposure. In most countries silicosis is a notifiable occupational diseases, if a worker is diagnosed with silicosis, must be transferred away from the environment
