[quote=YVONNE,278302]Xinhua News Agency reported: "China is facing a severe challenge by the high incidence of occupational diseases" said Vice Health Minister Ma Xiaowei on Thursday at a national meeting. The report point out that occupational diseases caused by illegal and unsafe production are on the rise. People who worked in mining , pharmaceutical and pesticide manufacture, nuclear infrastructure and radioactivity treatment institutions are prone to occupational diseases. The report also suggests that even though China published an occupational diseases prevention law in 2002, many firms still turn a blind eye to workers' working conditions. The lax enforcement is part of reasons. The domestic workers suffering occupational diseases would continue to increase over the next 10 to 15 years. What kinds of occupation are you engaging in? Do you suffer from occupational diseases?[/quote]
