Black lung disease (BLD), also known as coal workers' pneumoconiosis, [1] or simply black lung, is an occupational type of pneumoconiosis caused by long-term inhalation and deposition of coal dust in the lungs and the consequent lung tissue's reaction to its presence. [2] It is common in coal miners and others who work with coal.
The intent of this review paper is to demonstrate the variation of coal dust properties and their impact on the mine worker's health. We suggest that the impact of nano-sized coal mine dust on miner's health has not yet been understood well and further improvements are necessary.
16 kwi 2024 · The Labor Department has issued a new rule intended to protect coal miners from poisonous silica dust that has contributed to the premature deaths of thousands of mine workers from a respiratory ailment known as “black lung” disease.
3 maj 2021 · Chronic exposure to coal dusts puts the miners at risk for various lung diseases, including coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, emphysema, silicosis, and chronic bronchitis. Apart from the miners’ lung disease, the coal mine dusts also potentially increase the risk of mine explosion which has been recognized as one of the most severe hazards in ...
