Inhaling silica dust can lead to severe and fatal illnesses, including silicosis and lung cancer. And mixed coal mine dust containing silica can cause black lung and progressive massive fibrosis. But these diseases are preventable.
Kudos to @MSHA_DOL for issuing a rule to reduce miners' exposure to silica dust & airborne hazards. Mine operators are required to provide periodic health exams at no cost to miners or their families. APHA submitted comments urging a strong rule. More: nytimes.com/2024/04/16/us/…
Today @MSHA_DOL issued a final rule to better protect all miners from respirable crystalline silica dust. It lowers miners’ exposure limit for silica dust with uniform standards for both coal mines and metal and nonmetal mines. dol.gov/newsroom/relea…
