“…However, due to the different pathogenic factors of pneumoconiosis and the different time and degree of pulmonary fibrosis, the pathogenesis of pulmonary fibrosis becomes complex and the cure is more difficult. A large number of epidemiological investigations of coal workers' pneumoconiosis in China and abroad show that the prevalence and progress of coal workers' pneumoconiosis are related to coal dust particle size, carbon content and free silica concentration [11][12][13]. When the content of free silica in lung dust exceeds 18%, the lesion is silicosis; below 18%, it is coal workers' pneumoconiosis, including pneumoconiosis caused by coal dust and coal silicosis caused by mixed dust (rock dust and coal dust) [11,12].…”

Pneumoconiosis has become one of the biggest threats to the occupational health and life safety of mining workers in China. The number of pneumoconiosis cases has continued to rise in recent years. The main task of occupational health development is to study the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis and to develop mine dust prevention and control technology. Therefore, this paper summarizes the research progress of coal worker pneumoconiosis and dust prevention and control in mines. Firstly, the research progress of coal worker pneumoconiosis is analyzed from the aspects of pathogenesis, animal model and pathological changes of coal worker pneumoconiosis. Then, the existing basic theory and technology of dust prevention are described, including ventilation and dust removal, spray and dust suppression, and chemical dust suppression methods. Finally, based on the dust removal theory of wet shotcrete, the progress of shotcrete dust control technology and equipment used for shotcrete is summarized from the aspects of shotcrete technology process and shotcrete materials. At the same time, in view of the shortcomings of the existing research, the next research prospect is given in the pathogenesis of pneumoconiosis, intelligent dust prevention, jet spraying dust removal and so on. This paper provides theoretical support for realizing the separate source and efficient treatment of mine dust control and helps to improve the clean production level of mine, control and prevent pneumoconiosis.

We assessed the relationship between exposure to silica dust and chronic airflow limitation in an epidemiological survey conducted among pottery workers and controls who were of the same socioeconomic status (average age: 35 y; 78% males). Data were collected by questionnaire for respiratory symptoms, allergy, respiratory history, smoking habits, and occupation. Lung function was measured with a computer-equipped Gauthier spirometer. We excluded subjects with silicosis or doubtful chest x-ray, and two exposure levels were defined. No differences were observed between exposed subjects and controls with respect to respiratory conditions. Mean pulmonary function values for men and women were significantly lower, after adjustment for age, height, and smoking habits, in even indirectly exposed pottery workers, compared with controls. These results suggest that exposure to silica dust is a risk factor for chronic airflow limitation and is independent of radiographic changes.
