Objective To investigate the status and risk level of smoke/dust in the production process of ferroalloy smelting in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. Methods A cross-sectional survey was conducted on ferroalloy smelting enterprises in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from May to October 2022. The concentrations of main hazards(dust,manganese and its compounds,lead and its compounds) in the fumes/dust of major positions were collected and analyzed. The risk levels of occupational hazard factors were evaluated using the job classification method and the risk index method. Results The exceedance rates of silica dust with 10%≤free silica≤50%,silica dust with 50%<free silica≤80%,and manganese and its compounds at the major positions in the ferroalloy smelting industry in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region were 24.12%,58.33% and 24.24%,respectively. The maximum exceedance multiples were 6.00,7.43,and 11.9 times,respectively. The highest concentrations all occurring at the finishing position. The exposure levels of the same hazard factors were generally similar across the main positions. The upper bounds of the 95%CI for the hazard job classification method and risk index method were 2.948 and 3.014,respectively,indicating that the overall risk level of the industry was moderate. Conclusion The fumes/dust hazards in the major positions of the ferroalloy smelting industry in Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region are relatively severe,with a high proportion of medium and high risks. There is still a possibility of new occupational diseases under current conditions. Strengthening comprehensive prevention and control as well as supervision is necessary to reduce the actual exposure levels and health risks for workers.
