چکیده
Pneumoconiosis is a notifiable industrial disease where a patient develops the disease, their doctor must notify their employer in writing with the patient's consent. The employer then is duty-bound to inform the local Health and Safety Executive (HSE). Pneumoconiosis is also a prescribed industrial disease. Financial compensation may be available where an individual is able to show they worked in a job for which their disease is prescribed and that their illness is likely due to the occupational exposure.

Dust exposure and pneumoconiosis in a South African pottery. 1. Study objectives and dust exposure.
Dust exposure and pneumoconiosis were investigated in a South African pottery that manufactured wall tiles and bathroom fittings. This paper describes the objectives of the investigation and presents dust measurement data. x Ray diffraction showed that the clays used by the pottery had a high quartz content (range 58%-23%, mean 38%). Exposure to respirable dust was measured for 43 workers and w...
متن کاملCombined effect of silica dust and tobacco smoking on mortality from chronic obstructive lung disease in gold miners.
A sample of 2209 white South African gold miners aged 45-54 between 1968-71, who started mining exposure during 1936-43, was investigated from 1968-71 to 30 December 1986. The effect of silica dust and tobacco smoking on mortality from chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD) was assessed. The relative risk (RR) for dust exposure before 1950 was estimated as 2.5 (95% confidence interval (CI) 1.5...

متن کاملPreparation of nano selenium particles by water solution phase method from industrial dust
In this study, selenium was recovered from an industrial dust. After the purification process, the researchers were able to prepare selenium micro powder. The objective of this study was to prepare selenium nano particles by water solution phase method from the micro powders. The results showed that selenium micronized powder and nano particles had high purity. The obtained nanoparticles were t...
متن کاملRelative importance of cigarette smoking in occupational lung disease.
Since 1900 respiratory disease has remained a constant serious cause of chronic ill health and premature death in Britain. The falling importance of tuberculosis and pneumonia has been off-set by the rise in lung cancer. Bronchitis morbidity and mortality have fallen only slightly since 1935. To produce any real improvement in the future existing information as to cause must be studied. The rel...
متن کاملDust sampling and lung disease.
No instrument for sampling airborne dust or mist collects a sample which is truly representative of all the particles present. There are errors associated with the random variation of the cloud in time and position and instrumental errors due to the act of sucking the cloud into the sampling apparatus or to inherent failings of the dustseparating or measuring mechanism which cannot be entirely ...
