Epidemiological data on US coal miners' pneumoconiosis, 1960 to 1988
OBJECTIVES. Statistics on prevalence of pneumoconiosis among working underground coal miners based on epidemiologic data collected between 1960 and 1988 are presented. The main intent was to examine the time-related trend in prevalence, particularly after 1969, when substantially lower dust levels were mandated by federal act. METHODS. Data from studies undertaken between 1960 and 1968 were collected and compared. Information for the period 1969 …
Surveillance data on US coal miners' pneumoconiosis, 1970 to 1986
OBJECTIVES. Statistics on prevalence of pneumoconiosis among working underground coal miners from data collected as part of a large national radiographic surveillance program between 1970 and 1986 are presented. The main intent was to examine the time-related trend in prevalence over this period, which coincides with historically low dust levels mandated by federal act. METHODS. Tenure-specific prevalence rates and summary statistics derived from…
British data on coal miners' pneumoconiosis and relevance to US conditions
OBJECTIVES. The current primary federal dust standard for US underground coal miners of 2 mg/m3 respirable dust is based on British epidemiological information on exposure-response derived in 1969. Since then, much new information has become available. This paper reviews and compares the available information as it relates to the US mining situation. METHODS. Recent exposure-response information on pneumoconiosis and dust exposure derived by Brit…
