[Analysis of silica dust detection results in workplace air of somewhere in enterprise].

Objective: To understand the occupational hazard and distribution of silica dust (free SiO(2)≥10%) in the workplace environment of the enterprises in Fengxian District, and to provide scientific basis for improving the working environment and protecting the physical and mental health of the workers. Methods: Individual sampling monitoring and on-site labor hygiene investigation were conducted on 421 workers involved in 87 silicon dust enterprises in the jurisdiction from 2014 to 2018, and measured concentration-time weighted average (C(TWA)) . Results: The results showed that the range of the C(TWA) was (0.021~17.000) mg/m(3), the median was 1.600 mg/m(3), and the qualified rate of 30.88%. The difference of total dust concentration was statistically significant in different years (Z=38.831, P<0.05) . The qualified rate of small-scale enterprises is higher than that of medium-scale enterprises (χ(2)=9.472, P<0.05) . The qualified rate of other domestic enterprises is higher than that of private enterprises and foreign enterprises (χ(2)=10.089, P<0.05) . The acceptance rate of metal products manufacturing is lower than that of general equipment manufacturing and other manufacturing enterprises (χ(2)=64.626, P<0.05) . The qualification rate of natural ventilation is higher than that of mechanical ventilation (χ(2)=6.278, P<0.05) . Conclusion: The enterprises involved in silicon production in Fengxian District need to further strengthen the production process reform and improve the ventilation and dust removal protection measures. Widely carry out the publicity of occupational disease prevention and control law, conduct targeted pre-job training, improve workers' awareness of self-protection, and protect the occupational health of workers in many ways.
