Abstract
An inquiry has revealed that no cases of heatstroke occurred in European coal mines between 1955 and 1965. A minimum of 36,010 miners worked each year in European coal mines in environmental conditions of E.T. 79°F and above, conditions in which South African gold miners suffered heatstroke. If the same number of South African gold miners had worked in the same environmental conditions, there would have been expected one fatal and four or five nonfatal cases of heatstroke in one year1. The possible reasons for the discrepancy in the number of cases of heatstroke in South African mines compared to no cases of heatstroke in European mines are discussed.
