Equipment Noise and Worker Exposure in the Coal Mining Industry
INTRODUCTIONMining is an industry with unique, demanding occupational exposures compared with the general working population. Well‐studied health‐related exposures in mining include respirable particulates (e.g., coal, silica‐ and metals‐containing dust, diesel particulate matter) and noise.1–4 These exposures have been linked to chronic occupational diseases in miners, including pneumoconioses, silicosis, lung cancer, and noise‐induced hearing loss. However, much less is known about the prevalence of other chronic health conditions in miners.Compared to the general working population, the mining industry has a high proportion of workers in manual labor occupations, indicating different occupational exposures while working than those who may work in office‐based positions. Prior research with National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) data has shown that morbidity and mortality differ significantly between occupational groups within single industry sectors.5,6 Of particular interest is how the prevalence of health conditions in currently employed miners compares to that of workers employed in other industry sectors with a high proportion of manual labor occupations. By comparing similar industries, we can learn what health conditions may be associated with manual labor as well as with individual industries.Our previous research has indicated that retired miners have significantly higher rates of certain health conditions (hypertension, hearing loss, functionally limiting
