Abstract
The article surveys the occupational health examination material and collects health data of seven furniture factories woodworking, and compared with the medical examination of the people in the vicinity. According to health examination results, the rate of allergic dermatitis and bronchial asthma, interstitial lung disease, eye infections diseases, and nasal cancer in exposure group was significantly higher as compared with control group. There was a significant difference in exposure group and the control group (P < 0.05). The rate of chronic respiratory disease in exposure group was also significantly higher as against the control group at different age. And in exposure group, the rate of chronic respiratory disease increases gradually with age. But the rate in the control group was different. Then the article gives some suggestion on effective control strategies for the woodworking health.
