Overview of Respiratory Diseases caused by Coal Dust. Still "common in coal miners". 📂 Archived Message Posted by Jim_Carlucci on August 8, 2021, 8:29 pm, in reply to "Public figures are queuing up to slam Boris Johnson’s despicable pit closures comment" Links: 1) https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4556416/ 2) "Coalworker's pneumoconiosis - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coalworker%27s_pneumoconiosis "Coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP), also known as black lung disease or black lung, is caused by long-term exposure to coal dust. It is common in coal miners and others who work with coal. It is similar to both silicosis from inhaling silica dust and asbestosis from inhaling asbestos dust. Inhaled coal dust progressively builds up in the lungs and leads to inflammation, fibrosis, and in worse cases, necrosis." Would you prefer a son(or a daughter!?) to train(preferably govt-subsidized) then work as an installer of PV systems and micro-turbines on roofs - or work deep underground at the coal-face like a true,er, working-class hero/sucker ? The term double-standards springs to mind - seeing as you're (almost) all so self-obsessively concerned about wearing masks, getting vaxxed etc in order to (putatively) protect *your own* pulmonary health/function against Covid-19 and neverending future pandemics, lab-leaks..
