Abstract：There are few researches on the health effects of occupational exposure to hard metal dusts , and the Ministry of Health has not yet developed appropriate diagnostic standard.,but has included hard metal lung disease which is caused by hard metal dusts in the latest occupational categories. This review summarizes the occupation contact, pathogenicity, detection and treatment of exposure to hard metal dusts ,for the purpose of providing reference for subsequent in-depth study.
