Understanding Coal Mine Dust Lung Disease and Its Broader Impact on Coal Miners’ Health
Coal mine dust poses significant health risks, causing a range of debilitating lung diseases collectively called coal mine dust lung diseases (CMDLD). Among the best known of these diseases is coal workers’ pneumoconiosis (CWP), commonly referred to as “black lung.” However, coal mine dust exposure can also lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and impaired lung function, all of which contribute to serious health consequences for coal miners. The ongoing burden is highlighting the importance of dust control measures and screening efforts to protect miners from these preventable diseases.

The High Cost of Dirty Air Infiltrating the Engine
3 Invisible Killers of Heavy Mobile Equipment and Fixed Plant Engines
Mine sites are complex operations, and keeping heavy equipment at peak performance is essential for efficiency and profitability. Engines are the heartbeat of the operation and are vulnerable to premature failure from three sources: dust; dirty fuel; and dirty oil.

Top 5 Reasons to Implement ISO 23875 Cab Air Quality Standard
Benefits of Incorporating ISO 23875 into your Occupational Health and Safety Management System
The ISO 23875 cab air quality standard was developed for the extreme conditions of mining but can be used in any industry to protect heavy-equipment machine operators from harmful respirable particulate. It has been adopted as a national standard in many countries, such as in AS/NZS ISO 23875 Australia and New Zealand. So why implement ISO 23875 with Amendment 1 if it is not mandated by a regulatory body? [continue reading] Top 5 Reasons to Implement ISO 23875 Cab Air Quality Standard
