The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimates that deaths from work-related respiratory diseases and cancers account for about 70% of all occupational disease deaths. NIOSH conducts research in order to detect and reduce work-related hazardous exposures, injuries, and diseases; its Respiratory Disease Research Program (RDRP) focuses on respiratory diseases. This National Research Council book reviews the RDRP to evaluate the 1) relevance of its work to improvements in occupational safety and health and 2) the impact of research in reducing workplace respiratory illnesses. The assessment reveals that the program has made essential contributions to preventing occupational respiratory disease. The National Research Council has rated the Program a 5 out of 5 for relevance, and a 4 out of 5 for impact. To further increase its effectiveness, the Respiratory Disease Research Program should continue and expand its current efforts, provide resources for occupational disease surveillance, and include exposure assessment scientists in its activities. 606 $aEnvironmentally induced diseases 606 $aLungs$xDiseases$xResearch 606 $aLungs$xDust diseases 606 $aOccupational diseases 615 0$aEnvironmentally induced diseases. 615 0$aLungs$xDiseases$xResearch. 615 0$aLungs$xDust diseases. 615 0$aOccupational diseases. 676 $a616.2 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bBoard on Environmental Studies and Toxicology. 712 02$aNational Research Council (U.S.).$bCommittee to Review the Respiratory Diseases Research Program.
