- Abstract
Industrial-related deaths represent a specialized aspect of autopsy practice. The purpose of this review is to assist the pathologist in the handling of such deaths. The diseases associated with the three most significant mineral dusts (asbestos, coal and silica) are described, together with a selection of less well-known mineral dust diseases. This review addresses the complex issues of ascribing disease to industrial exposures and the role of mineral analysis. The authors discuss the common medical legal issues that are encountered at post mortem and at inquest deposition.
