National Coal Study and Related Research. Final Report from Round Three of the Study.

PB85221026

Publication Date	1984
Personal Author	Attfield, M.
Page Count	222
Abstract	Results of the National Coal Study are presented. Thirty two coal mines were visited and 5275 miners were examined during a 5 year period. The incidence and progression of coalworkers' pneumoconiosis was studied. Longitudinal declines in 1 second forced expiratory volume (FEV1) in coalminers were investigated. The author suggests that the degree and progression of pneumoconiosis has been reduced by applying the 2mg/m3 dust standard.
