Experts said the arrest of more than 35 people accused of drug trafficking in one of the factories of Boeing military aircraft highlights the growing problem of abuse of narcotic drugs among the workers in the United States.
Has directed the federal authorities on Thursday charged 37 people for Boeing employees to sell or attempt to buy painkillers and anti-anxiety drugs in the company's factory on the outskirts of Philadelphia.
The authorities said that agents from the FBI raided the factory and arrested suspects, noting that disclosure of secret deals were concluded over the four years between the agents and factory workers.
However, outside of these investigations, it remains to detect this kind of misuse of drugs is much harder to detect use of illegal substances such as marijuana and cocaine.
Taking place today in the U.S. tests on the workers before hiring them to detect whether they consume narcotic substances or abuse to deal with some prescription medications.
According to the diagnosis of Quest, more than 40% of American workers were the results of their experiments with more positive for opiates and sedative prescription during the year 2009 compared to 2005 has been confirmed by Boeing and a link between these items and more accidents in the workplace.
However there are gaps in the level of testing evidence suggests that the abuse of prescription drugs is on the rise.
According to an annual survey released in the United States, only 2.7% of Americans abusing prescription drugs for non-medical reasons, and increased rates of treatment for abuse of prescription painkillers 400% over the past decade.
These statistics have prompted the administration of President Barack Obama to fight a battle against so-called "epidemic of prescription drug abuse."
