摘要

Even with increased regulations on exposure to dusts associated with mining, cases of black lung disease, or pneumoconiosis, among coal miners have increased. University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) researchers have received a $750,000 grant from the Alpha Foundation for the Improvement of Mining Safety and Health to identify the source of this spike in cases. The grant will support research on how various mining dusts contribute to the disease."We know that coal and silica dusts increase the risk for development of black lung disease, but we don't know much about how mixtures behave and what combinations are worse for lung health," says investigator Leonard Go. "We want to be able to create mine dust risk profiles for pulmonary disease that can be used to inform policy and improve regulations limiting exposure to these dusts."
