本文选取了2004～2013年发生的63起环境铅、镉污染危害人体健康的事件进行分析。这些事件分布在全国各地，中南地区与华东地区为高发区，危害的人群主要在农村，污染主要来自冶炼加工业的违规排放，污染物质经由大气、土壤进入人体，大多属于累积性健康损害。这些事件的背后暴露出我国目前环境与健康管理缺乏协同机制、环境标准供给严重不足和法律规制缺失的严重问题。为此，必须高度重视法律制度的安排，制定《环境与健康法》，将我国的环境与健康工作纳入法制轨道。
This paper analyzes 63 environmental incidents that occurred from 2004 through 2013 and that harmed human health by lead and cadmium pollution.These incidents occurred across China，especially in the central south and east regions，and harmed mainly rural people.Most of the pollutants were emitted by metal smelting and processing into air and soil before entering the human body，typically causing cumulative harms to health.Behind these incidents are the current lack of a collaboration mechanism between environmental and health management organizations，of sufficient environmental standards，and of applicable laws/regulations in China.It is therefore necessary to pay much attention to making legal arrangements，especially the Environmental and Health Law，so as to put China’s environmental and health-relevant work under law.
