The Impact of Black Lung and a Methodology for Controlling Respirable Dust
Abstract. Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly known as black lung, is caused by the inhalation of respirable coal mine dust and is a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease with no cure. Historically, CWP has taken a tremendous human and financial toll in the US coal mining industry. Recent health surveillance data indicates ...
Black lung is still a threat
Submit your paper; Open access ... however, there is a tendency to be complacent about health risks, leading to an assumption that black lung disease is no longer a threat. This is simply not true. Deborah Yates (St Vincent's Hospital, NSW, Australia) has accumulated many years of experience in occupational lung disease research, training, and ...
PDF Black Lung Literature Review
The remainder of this paper synthesizes the available literature on black lung disease to answer the research question "What is the current state of knowledge on black lung disease, particularly as it relates to coal mining, residential coal use, Appalachian populations, and Navajo Nation residents?" Findings are organized as follows:

Unearthing pathology of recent rise in black lung disease
Two recent papers from the center expand upon this link, with both comparing the lungs of miners from the mid-20th century with those from more recent cases of black lung disease. The studies are the first update on the pathology of black lung disease since 1971, highlighting features in lung tissue that are unique to this newer version and ...
The enduring legacy of black lung: environmental health and contested
Black lung attorneys interviewed in this research discussed the importance of broadening diagnoses of the disease to capture the full range of environmental health impacts on miners. An attorney described the basic clinical diagnosis of black lung, describing CWP and PMF, and then described the broader parameters of a 'legal definition' of ...
Black Lung in the 21st Century: Disease, Law, and Policy
In particular, the past decade has seen four major changes to the federal law concerning black lung. First, in 2014, the U.S. Department of Labor ("DOL") made the first changes since 1972 to the regulations limiting the dust that miners breathe while working underground. The Dust Rule reduces the permissible dust level by 25%, closes ...
Black Lung: The Social Production of Disease
Abstract. The black lung movement that erupted in West Virginia in 1968 was not simply a struggle for recognition of an occupational disease; it grew into a bitter controversy over who would control the definition of that disease. This article examines the historical background and medical politics of that controversy, arguing that black lung ...
Black Lung Disease: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment
Black Lung Disease (Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis) Black lung disease is inflammation and scarring common among people who work in coal mines. Some people may not have symptoms. Others may have difficulty breathing, cough up black mucus and experience chest tightness. Medications can help ease symptoms, but there's no cure.

In the US, the prevalence of sarcoidosis is 141.4 per 100 000 in people identifying as Black or African-American, 49.8 in those identifying as white, 21.7 in those identifying as Hispanic, and 18.9 in those identifying as Asian.50 Fibrotic (stage IV) lung disease is estimated to occur in less than 20% of people with pulmonary sarcoidosis.51 52 ...
Black Lung Disease Alive and Well, After All These Years
Black Lung Disease. Black lung disease is medically classified as a pneumoconiosis, a disease within the lung tissue causing inflammation followed by scarring, and fibrosis. ... The American Council on Science and Health is a research and education organization operating under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code. Contributions are ...
Black Lung Incidence Study
About the Study. In 2022, the Chief Evaluation Office (CEO) partnered with the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) and commissioned contractor Summit Consulting, LLC (Summit) to conduct the Black Lung Incidence Study under the Administrative Data Research and Analysis portfolio of studies. This study uses secondary data to examine the rate of black lung disease across the United ...

A Survey of Deep Learning for Lung Disease Detection on Medical Images: State-of-the-Art, Taxonomy, Issues and Future Directions ... However, there was a lack of systematic survey available on the current state of research and application. This paper is thus produced to offer an extensive survey of lung disease detection using deep learning ...
Black lung disease
Black lung disease (BLD), also known as coal-mine dust lung disease, or simply black lung, is an occupational type of pneumoconiosis caused by long-term inhalation and deposition of coal dust in the lungs and the consequent lung tissue's reaction to its presence. It is common in coal miners and others who work with coal. It is similar to both silicosis from inhaling silica dust and asbestosis ...

those with black lung disease and silicosis particularly hard. Unfortunately, the risk of developing CWP from a coal mining career is high, and in some areas the risk has gotten higher.
A Systematic Review: Classification of Lung Diseases from ...
The purpose of this survey is to provide a comprehensive review of the most recent publications on lung disease classification from chest X-ray images using deep learning algorithms. Methods: This research aims to present several common chest radiography datasets and to introduce briefly the general image preprocessing procedures that are applied to chest X-ray images. Then, the classification ...
Detection and classification of lung diseases for pneumonia ...
It is challenging to differentiate Covid-19 and pneumonia lung diseases for medical experts. The chest X-ray imaging is the most reliable method for lung disease prediction. In this paper, we propose a novel framework for the lung disease predictions like pneumonia and Covid-19 from the chest X-ray images of patients.
Removing Race from Lung Function Tests Could Benefit Millions of Black
A new study shows that hundreds of thousands more Black people in the U.S. would qualify for a lung disease diagnosis and disability payments if lung-function measurements weren't adjusted for race
