Mercury is one of many health issues related to ASGM. Several other health effects are common in gold mining communities, such as infectious diseases, accidents, and lung diseases caused by dust. 32 Exposure to other chemicals such as lead 49 or cyanide 26 is also possible. ASGM-related health restrictions other than chronic exposures to ...

concerning health effects associated with coal mining: 1. Exposure to coal mine dust causes various pulmonary diseases, including coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 2. Coal miners are also exposed to crystalline silica dust, which causes silicosis, COPD, and other diseases. 3.

Objective: To provide an update on respiratory diseases caused by coal mine dust. Methods: This article presents the results of a literature review initially performed for an International Conference on Occupational and Environmental Lung Disease held in summer 2013. Results: Coal mine dust causes a spectrum of lung diseases collectively termed coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD).

[6–8] Unfortunately, this has overshadowed the burden of other diseases that occur in coal miners. New research finds that coal miners are also at increased risk of death from other diseases, including COPD and lung cancer. Controlling exposures to respirable coal mine dust can help prevent these serious diseases. What We Did

Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and other mining-related lung diseases are entirely preventable, yet continue to occur. While greater attention has been given to CWP and silicosis, mining exposures cause a broad spectrum of respiratory disease, including chronic bronchitis, emphysema, and pulmonary fibrosis.

The potential of coal mine dust to cause disabling pneumoconiosis has long been recognised, but research now suggests that pneumoconiosis is not the only respiratory hazard of coal mining. Over the last 30 years evidence has accumulated that miners also experience an excess of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and this has led the British Government to …
