New occupational diseases were mainly concentrated in Changning and Leiyang County-level city (87.82%, 1 853/2110), among which occupational poisoning had the most incidence in Changning County-level city (97.83%, 945/966), and pneumoconiosis had the most incidence in Leiyang County-level city (67.05%, 749/1 117). New occupational diseases were mainly concentrated in the manufacturing and mining industries (95.59%, 2 017/2 110). Pneumoconiosis (63.74%, 712/1 117) and acute occupational poisoning (60.00%, 9/15) were mainly caused by small businesses. Chronic occupational poisoning (61.62%, 586/951) and occupational otolaryngological and stomatological diseases (75.00%, 9/12) were mainly caused by large enterprises.
