Description:"The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Coal Workers’ Health Surveillance Program (CWHSP) studies the causes and effects of respiratory diseases related to coal mine dust exposure and provides vital health information to coal miners through health screenings and surveillance. The NIOSH CWHSP was established by the Federal Coal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1969 to provide early detection of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, also known as black lung, and to prevent progression to severe lung disease. The program offers health screenings for coal miners and allows researchers to identify trends in disease across the nation." - NIOSHTIC-2
