4 Health Effects of Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust
This chapter describes the adverse health effects associated with exposure to respirable coal mine dust. Epidemiological studies of underground and surface coal miners in the United States and other countries are discussed. Also discussed are animal studies that add to our understanding of particle deposition and retention in the lungs and associated disease responses. This chapter emphasizes s...
متن کاملRespirable quartz hazard associated with coal mine roof bolter dust
This study examined the potential for coal mine roof bolter dust to be a source of a worker’s exposure to respirable quartz. For the models of roof bolter studied, the dust from bolt hole drilling is collected by a dry vacuum exhaust system. The collected dust-laden air passes through a cyclone size-separator (pre-cleaner) and into a collector box containing two additional cyclones and a filter...
متن کاملEquivalency of a personal dust monitor to the current United States coal mine respirable dust sampler.
The United States National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health, through an informal partnership with industry, labor, and the United States Mine Safety and Health Administration, has developed and tested a new instrument known as the Personal Dust Monitor (PDM). The new dust monitor is an integral part of the cap lamp that coal miners normally carry to work and provides continuous info...
متن کاملCanaries in the coal mine.
Up until 30 years ago, coalminers relied on canaries as warning systems against harmful gases and pollutants underground. The miners listened for birdsong and if the birds fell silent, then they knew there was danger to their health and to take action. Today we have much more sophisticated information and reporting on the quality of air. We know precisely the levels and composition of pollutant...
متن کاملToxicity and occupational health hazards of coal fly ash (CFA). A review of data and comparison to coal mine dust.
Coal fly ashes (CFA) are complex particles of a variable composition, which is mainly dependent on the combustion process, the source of coal and the precipitation technique. Toxic constituents in these particles are considered to be metals, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and silica. The purpose of this review was to study the in vitro and in vivo data on coal fly ash and relate the studied e...
