About Pneumoconioses | Pneumoconioses | CDC
2024年1月19日 · Pneumoconiosis typically takes years to develop. However, rapidly progressive forms of silicosis can occur after short periods of intense exposure. When severe, the diseases often lead to lung impairment, disability, and premature death. Pneumoconioses can be avoided through appropriate dust control.

Pneumoconiosis and Advanced Occupational Lung Disease …
2012年6月15日 · Pneumoconiosis and Advanced Occupational Lung Disease Among Surface Coal Miners — 16 States, 2010–2011. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) is a chronic occupational lung disease caused by long-term inhalation of dust, which triggers inflammation of the alveoli, eventually resulting in irreversible lung damage.
Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis-Attributable Years of Potential ...
2018年8月2日 · Coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) is a preventable occupational lung disease caused by inhaling coal mine dust that can lead to premature death. Coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP) or black lung disease can progress to …
Black Lung | Mining | CDC
2024年10月9日 · Coal mine dust (called respirable dust) is the leading cause of black lung disease (i.e., coal workers' pneumoconiosis, or CWP). CWP was the underlying or contributing cause of death for 75,178 miners from 1970– 2016. NIOSH has conducted engineering control, dust monitoring, and other types of research to address dust exposure.
Changing Patterns of Pneumoconiosis Mortality --- United States, …
For this report, pneumoconiosis deaths were identified during 1968--2000, the most recent year for which complete data are available, and include any death certificates for which an International Classification of Diseases (ICD) code* for CWP, silicosis, asbestosis, or unspecified/other pneumoconiosis was listed as either the underlying or ...
ILO Classification for B Readers | Radiographic Screening | CDC
Inter- and intra-reader variability in chest radiography has existed since chest radiography was first used to identify and classify pneumoconiosis. 1. Inter-reader variability occurs when readers disagree amongst themselves on a classification. Inter-reader variation consists of …
Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis-Related Years of Potential Life Lost ...
2009年12月25日 · Early pneumoconiosis can be asymptomatic, but advanced disease often leads to disability and premature death (1,2). To characterize the impact of premature mortality attributed to CWP in the United States, CDC's National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) analyzed annual underlying cause of death data from 1968--2006, the most ...
Advanced Cases of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis --- Two …
A total of 30 (9%) examined miners had radiographic evidence of pneumoconiosis (i.e., category 1/0 or higher profusion of small opacities*). Of these, 11 miners had advanced cases, including five with large opacities consistent with PMF and six with coalescence of small opacities on a background profusion of category 2.
Mining and Silicosis | Mining | CDC - Centers for Disease Control …
2024年10月9日 · The two main types of pneumoconioses that affect miners are silicosis and coal workers' pneumoconiosis. During the extraction, transport, and processing of coal, ore, or stone in underground and surface mining operations, significant amounts of airborne respirable dust can be generated and expose workers.
