Kurtosis Assessment of Cardiovascular Disease Risk Caused by Complex Noise in Coal Mines.
Noise Health
January 2025
School of Public Health, Anhui University of Science and Technology, Huainan, Anhui, People's Republic of China.
Objectives: This study aims to investigate the relationship between noise kurtosis and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk while exploring the potential of kurtosis assessment in evaluating CVD risk associated with complex noise exposure in coal mines.
Methods: This cross-sectional study started in April 2021 and ended in November 2022. It involved 705 coal miners selected from 1045 participants.
The Association Between Employment in Coal Mining and History of Injury, Current Pain, and Prescription Opioid Use.
Am J Ind Med
January 2025
Division of Environmental and Occupational Health Sciences, School of Public Health, University of Illinois Chicago, Chicago, Illinois, USA.
Background: Coal mining involves heavy physical demand, which is associated with increased risk of injury and long-term musculoskeletal health disorders and chronic pain. Management of chronic or recurrent pain is in turn associated with prescription opioid use and risk of opioid use disorder (OUD).
Methods: We analyzed clinical data from 5463 coal miners evaluated between 2004 and 2015.
Association between urinary mixture metal levels and olfactory function in coal miners.
Front Public Health
October 2024
School of Public Health, Ningxia Medical University, Yinchuan, China.
Background: Exposure to occupational metallic mixtures has a potential impact on olfactory function. However, research evidence is limited on the potential impact of exposure to metallic mixtures and olfactory dysfunction. Furthermore, the coal dust generated contains multiple various metals during coal mining, and no study yet has focus on the olfactory dysfunction of coal miners.

Article Synopsis
- Coal worker's pneumoconiosis (CWP) is a serious lung disease caused by long-term exposure to coal dust, impacting the health and lifespan of miners while also straining economic resources and reducing workforce participation.
- The study analyzes trends and changes in the global impact of CWP from 1990 to 2019, anticipating shifts in how the disease affects miners due to changes in the coal industry.
- By providing a detailed overview of CWP's current and future implications, the study aims to aid countries in creating better health policies and preventive measures for coal miners.
Research progress on the pathogenesis and prediction of pneumoconiosis among coal miners.
Environ Geochem Health
July 2024
School of Mechatronic Engineering, Jiangsu Normal University, Xuzhou, 221000, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China.
Article Synopsis
- - Pneumoconiosis, a lung disease common among coal miners, stems from long-term coal dust inhalation and can lead to severe symptoms like pulmonary fibrosis, increased pain, and higher mortality rates, with no effective treatments available.
- - The disease's pathogenesis is complex, influenced by factors such as coal dust composition, particle size, shape, and concentration, but there is currently no standardized method for early prediction among miners.
- - This review highlights recent research on pneumoconiosis in coal miners, discussing its pathogenesis and the impact of coal dust, as well as introducing diagnostic methods like image analysis and biomarker detection, and addressing challenges in early screening.
