China has set up thousands of sanitary standards for public life, to which people can get free access on internet, an official with Ministry of Health (MOH) was quoted as saying by Tuesday's Beijing News.
Huo Xiaojun, an official in charge of laws and regulations with the MOH, said so far the MOH has drafted and issued more than 1,800 items of sanitary standards covering food, environment, radiation, occupational diseases and cosmetics.
Huo said by the end of this year, the standards will be publicized on the official website of the MOH, namely, www.moh.gov.cn. People can look up the standards free of charge.
Gu Jingyu, an MOH official in charge of standardization, revealed the MOH is now revising diagnosis standards on 37 kinds of infectious diseases. In the meantime, MOH is also participating in setting up a standard on cell phone radiation.
At present, China has no cell phone radiation standard since consumption of cell phones in China still heavily relies on imports from Europe and the United States, whose products have different standards.
