01/01/2013 - "It is urgent to enhance occupational disease control in coal sector, and the estimation results for CWP should be spread and applied. "

01/01/2015 - "These results establish the need to generate an intervention strategy aimed at preventing the identified factors, as well as a timely identification and effective treatment of pneumoconiosis in coal miners, in which the commitment of the General Health and Social Security System and the workers compensation system is ensured. "
04/01/2010 - "In the 1950s the Pneumoconiosis Field Research (PFR) programme was set up to study the health of British coal workers. "

05/01/2010 - "This study tests alternative specifications of exposure to mining activity to determine whether a measure based on location of mines, processing plants, coal slurry impoundments and underground slurry injection sites relative to population levels is superior to a previously-reported measure of exposure based on tons mined at the county level, in the prediction of age-adjusted cancer mortality rates. "

06/01/2011 - "In this study of Canadian men, a higher risk of MM may be associated with exposure to coal dust, long-held occupations as a carpenter or machinist, and a positive family history of cancer."
04/01/2008 - "This study showed differential risks associated with indoor air pollution from wood and coal burning, and provides novel evidence on cancer risks associated with solid fuel usage in India. "
