西藏是一个以农牧业为主的地区。民主改革前这里几乎没有什么工业,民主改革后全区各地逐渐兴建了一些工矿企业,例如煤矿、毛纺厂、皮革厂、水泥厂、地热站等。这些工矿主要分布在拉萨、日喀则、林芝、昌都等人口较为集中区。随着西藏的对外开放,近年来工矿企业中结核病疫情有所抬头。 Tibet is an area dominated by agriculture and animal husbandry. There was almost no industry here before the democratic reform. After the democratic reform, some industrial and mining enterprises such as coal mills, wool mills, tanneries, cement plants and geothermal plants were gradually built up throughout the region. These mines are mainly distributed in Lhasa, Shigatse, Nyingchi, Qamdo and other population centers. With the opening up of Tibet, the outbreak of tuberculosis in industrial and mining enterprises has been on the rise in recent years.
