摘要

科技的進步，導致原料、製程、污染防制技術等方面的改進，加上法規、人文、經濟等因素之變化，職業性鉛暴露的情形也隨之有所改變。本文列舉多種因科技、社會意識、法規、和國際趨勢的變化，致使鉛暴露人數和嚴重度明顯減少的實例。不過，當我們慶幸舊的職業性危害日漸減低的同時，應隨時留意新製程、新產品可能仍然存在一些污染與危害。唯有時時警惕，平日做好整潔與整頓工作，並瞭解鉛暴露途徑與防護方式，才能將職業性鉛危害降至最低程度。

Along with changing technology, new regulations, socio-economic impacts, occupational lead exposure in Taiwan in recent years has been modifined. By examining lead-related industries, including battery recycling, lead powder, lead stabilizing agents, cable, printing, glaze, leaded glass, drifting net, petroleum, ship demolition, electronic soldering, it was found that most occupational exposure has been significantly reduced. Factors such as automation, granulation, new technology with little or no lead, stringent environment and occupational health regulations, the shutdown of obsolete and polluted factories, societal changes (including labor shortages & changes in human value concepts), and international trade factors unfavorable to leadrelated businesses, are the driving forces in the lowering of occupational lead exposure.
