In this episode Peter Knott, occupational hygienist with GCG
Consulting joins host Mark Reggers for the first of a two-part
series to discuss coal dust.
Coal dust is a fine powdered form of coal which is created by the
crushing, grinding or pulverising of coal during mining, handling
and transportation. Coal dust exposure is hazardous to mine
workers, placing them at risk of developing a dust-related lung
disease, in particular, Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly
known as ‘black lung disease’.
