| Resumen |
This study provides estimates, using data from the Pneumoconiosis Field Research (PFR) of the National Coal Board in Britain, of the prevalence of simple pneumoconiosis and progressive massive fibrosis in coalminers at various stages of a 40-year working life. It summarises the methods used in carrying out the commissioned work, and its results. Contents: strategy, methods, subjects and data; estimates of the prevalence of radiological abnormality over a 40-year working life; effect of varying the level of participation in the 5-yearly X-ray scheme; reliability of data and methods; comparisons of current with previous risk estimates; carbon content of coal; transfer factor; relevance to ex-miners; further work. |
