Abstract
Abstract The Safety in Mines Research Establishment has been working since 1949 on techniques of analyses for dust in lungs as related to pneumoconiosis among coal miners. There appears to be a difference, as yet speculative, in the fibrinogenic properties of dust as related to their solubility. For a given severity of fibrosis, less of an insoluble dust is required the higher the quartz content. Pneumoconiosis of coal miners seems to vary with rank (quality) of coal or rock content of the airborne dust.
