Abstract:
Nasal cancer has not been included in the current list of legal occupational diseases in China. There is also a lack of systematic and in-depth study on the relationship between nasal cancer and occupational exposure factors in China. In September 2018, the department for work and pensions of UK released the latest edition of the "List of diseases covered by industrial injuries disablement benefit", which lists nasal cancer and nasopharyngeal carcinoma associated with wood dust exposure on the UK's occupational disease list. In order to better protect the health of workers, the relationship between occupational wood dust exposure and nasal cancer is reviewed, which provides a reference for further revision and improvement of occupational disease catalogue.
