Mercury is one of many health issues related to ASGM. Several other health effects are common in gold mining communities, such as infectious diseases, accidents, and lung diseases caused by dust. 32 Exposure to other chemicals such as lead 49 or cyanide 26 is also possible. ASGM-related health restrictions other than chronic …
concerning health effects associated with coal mining: 1. Exposure to coal mine dust causes various pulmonary diseases, including coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 2. Coal miners are also exposed to crystalline silica dust, which causes silicosis, COPD, and other diseases. 3.
Cumulative inhalation of respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) and respirable crystalline silica (RCS) can lead to obstructive lung diseases.
This review is based on research-based literature on occupational lung disease in the mining and related industries, focusing on conditions of public health importance arising from asbestos, coal and silica exposure. Both 'traditional' and 'new' concerns about occupational respiratory disease in min …
Exposures to Al occur in occupations associated with mining and processing of ore, scrap metal recycling, deployment and use of Al-containing compounds and products, and during engagement in Al metal cutting, sawing, filing and welding. ... Toxicosis associated with Al exposure is the pathological condition or disease caused …
A review of the literature revealed that numerous factors, including geological and mining parameters, advancements in mining practices, particle characteristics, and monitoring approaches are considered to contribute to the recent resurgence of RCMD lung diseases. However, the root causes of the problem are still unknown.
Exposure to dust from the mining environment has historically resulted in epidemic levels of mortality and morbidity from pneumoconiotic diseases such as …
Pollution from coal mining may have a negative impact on public health in mining communities, according to data analyzed in a West ia University research study.
Furthermore, heavy metals accumulation and pesticide residues in soils and plants have been discussed in detail. In addition, the characteristics of contaminated soil and plant physiological parameters have been reviewed. Moreover, human diseases caused by exposure to heavy metals and pesticides were also reported.
Dust is an inherent byproduct of mining activities that raises notable health and safety concerns. Cumulative inhalation of respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) and respirable crystalline silica (RCS ...
Miners are at risk of developing a lung disease called pneumoconiosis because of their exposure to airborne respirable dust. This type of dust includes extra fine particles that people can inhale into their lung tissue. Miners can also have an increased risk of dying from lung cancer. Risk increases …
A latest government study has found that mining activities in the coal-rich Tamnar area of Chhattisgarh have put the local population, mainly tribal people, at an increased risk of acute respiratory diseases and tuberculosis.
PDF | Discourses on "illegal" or informal small‐scale mining (galamsey) have presented it largely as a menace. Using Ghana as the focus of our study, we... | Find, read and cite all the ...
The Lancet Commission on pollution and health reported that pollution was responsible for 9 million premature deaths in 2015, making it the world's largest environmental risk factor for disease and premature death. We have now updated this estimate using data from the Global Burden of Diseases, Injuriaes, and Risk Factors Study 2019. We find that …
Individual miners often present with multiple effects of coal mine dust, including bronchitis, interstitial lung disease, and emphysema, a spectrum of overlapping …
Environmental pollution from nickel may be due to industry, the use of liquid and solid fuels, as well as municipal and industrial waste. Nickel contact can cause a variety of side effects on human health, such as allergy, cardiovascular and kidney diseases, lung fibrosis, lung and nasal cancer.
South Africa is a mineral-rich country. Although the mining of these minerals generates wealth for the country, it also causes diseases in the mine workers who are exposed to harmful dust.
This paper assessed the impact of mining operations on the health of mining workers. Additionally, the challenges faced by mine workers due to health issues and provisions arranged by mines for workers' healthcare were analysed from the social work and human rights perspectives. A cross-sectional study was conducted in a …
Despite the enormous economic benefits associated with mining, its detrimental effects on the environment and health of miners cannot be overlooked. Mining activities, both surface and underground, come along with numerous health externalities and exposure to dust and chemicals from mining causes acute and chronic respiratory …
In Neurodegenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's disease, the presence of mercury is the most substantial trace-element imbalance in the amygdala, …
Exposure to coal mine dust during mining can cause a spectrum of disease termed CMDLD. This spectrum includes classic forms of CWP and silicosis, mixed dust …
A meta-analysis was performed to evaluate the relationship between chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and occupational dust exposure, and to provide a scientific basis for the prevention and treatment of COPD caused by occupational factors.PubMed ...
Black lung disease — also known as coal workers' pneumoconiosis or coal miners' lung — is inflammation (swelling and irritation) and fibrosis (thickening or …
