Siliceous Dust in Relation to Pulmonary Disease Among Miners in the Joplin District, Missouri (Classic Reprint) by Edwin Higgins PDF Summary

Book Description: Excerpt from Siliceous Dust in Relation to Pulmonary Disease Among Miners in the Joplin District, Missouri Subsequently a special investigation was conducted in the J oplin district of Missouri in the so-called hard-rock or sheet - ground mines. Dr. A. J Lanza, passed assistant surgeon of the United States Public Health Service, was detailed to the Bureau of Mines by the Surgeon General to cooperate with Edwin Higgins, mining engineer of the bureau, in conducting under the general supervision of George S. Rice, chief mining engineer, a careful investigation of the health of the miners and the effect of the mining conditions with especial reference to the prevalence of silicosis. The investigators enlisted the heartiest cooperation from the mine inspectors of Mis souri and from the operators of the Joplin district. The miners themselves also proved anxious to assist in the inquiry. Accordingly, a large amount of valuable information was obtained, which is given in this publication. A preliminary report, published before the inquiry was finished, appeared in Bureau of Mines Technical Paper 105. The effect of the investigation and of the cooperation with the inspectors, operators, and miners was remarkably good. Regula tions were adopted by the State of Missouri, and the operators, many of them willingly, put into effect many improvements and intro duced appliances to allay the dust and to lessen the exposure of the men to it. In consequence, it is believed that the serious conditions that still prevail in the district will be rapidly improved and that the health not only of the miners, but of the community, will be improved thereby.
