Black Lung in Appalachian Coal Miners
Friday May 12, 2023
Friday May 12, 2023
Our favorite Appalachian Scientist will return next week to explain Black Lung in Coal Miners. Dr. Michael McCawley, PhD, will explain the causes of Black Lung and Impacts on Appalachian Coal Miners.
๐๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ ๐ก๐๐ ๐๐ง ๐๐ง๐๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐จ๐ซ ๐ฐ๐ข๐ญ๐ก ๐๐ฅ๐๐๐ค ๐๐ฎ๐ง๐ , ๐๐ ๐ฌ๐ฎ๐ซ๐ ๐ญ๐จ ๐ญ๐ฎ๐ง๐ ๐ข๐ง & ๐๐ซ๐ข๐ง๐ ๐ฒ๐จ๐ฎ๐ซ ๐ช๐ฎ๐๐ฌ๐ญ๐ข๐จ๐ง๐ฌ!
Black lung is most common in coal miners, but it can also affect people who work in other dusty occupations, such as stonemasons, quarry workers, and steelworkers. The risk of developing black lung increases with the amount of coal dust that a person is exposed to.
And if you missed his last visit, check out his webcast on the E Palestine Train Derailment. https://youtube.com/live/ooMb151o7Wk?feature=share
