For lack of a system including material safety data sheet (MSDS), workers are usually not aware of what chemicals they are exposed to. Since many occupational diseases have long latencies and do not show any specific symptoms and signs, recognition and identification of the occupational origin are often very difficult. Using databases which provide a relatively complete list of industrial chemicals and a set of specific signs and\/or symptoms, combined with the epidemiologic approach of conjectures and refutations\u2014i.e., considering and ruling out all possible alternative explanations\u2014we have documented eight kinds of occupational diseases and an outbreak of botulism. We recommend that a similar approach be applied to any other country with a similar situation, and that a system involving an identification sheet (e.g., MSDS) for each chemical be advocated and implemented in such countries as one means to enable prompt recognition and prevention of occupational diseases.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700200410","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2007,4,19]],"date-time":"2007-04-19T09:27:55Z","timestamp":1176974875000},"page":"557-565","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["From conjecture and refutation to the documentation of occupational diseases in Taiwan"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"20","author":[{"given":"Jung\u2010Der","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2007,1,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_1_2_1","first-page":"37","article-title":"Lead poisoning in a lead smelter","volume":"4","author":"Chang CS","year":"1988","journal-title":"Epidemiol Bull (R.O.C.)"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700120103"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_4_1","first-page":"743","article-title":"Clinical manifestations and laboratory findings of cases in an outbreak of carbon tetrachloride\u2010induced hepatic injury at a printing factory","volume":"86","author":"Huang YS","year":"1987","journal-title":"J Formosan Med Assoc"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.5271\/sjweh.2182"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_6_1","first-page":"43","article-title":"Silicosis in gold miners: a follow\u2010up study","volume":"5","author":"Ko YC","year":"1963","journal-title":"J Occup Med"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_7_1","first-page":"75","article-title":"Outbreak of hepatitis and the use of cleaning agent in a coil manufacturing factory","volume":"32","author":"Ko YC","year":"1978","journal-title":"Taiwan Sci"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_8_1","volume-title":"Conjectures and Refutations: The Growth of Scientific Knowledge.","author":"Popper KR","year":"1965"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_9_1","volume-title":"Objective Knowledge: An Evolutionary Approach.","author":"Popper KR","year":"1972"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/ajim.4700050108"},{"key":"e_1_2_1_11_1","volume-title":"OSH\u2010ROM.
