Medical Surveillance of Pneumoconioses

• Description:
  In living workers, the pneumoconioses are usually identified and diagnosed by chest radiography. The best available data for exploring the questions addressed at this seminar that are relevant to pneumoconiosis come from studies of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). My remarks therefore focus on x0ray surveillance of workers exposed to coal-mine dust. These observations are generally relevant to the screening and surveillance of workers exposed to mineral dusts.
