In this episode host Mark Reggers and guest Peter Knott,
occupational hygienist with GCG Consulting continue where they left
off and resume their discussion on the subject matter of 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’.
