- Abstract
Chronic exposure to coal dusts puts the miners at risk for various lung diseases, including coal workers' pneumoconiosis, emphysema, silicosis, and chronic bronchitis. Apart from the miners' lung disease, the coal mine dusts also potentially increase the risk of mine explosion which has been recognized as one of the most severe hazards in underground coal mine. The advanced and effective mine dust control technologies are expected to be consistent with the fundamental dust-lung interaction processes that potentially lead to miners' disability.
