Coal Dust Retention
Coal workers pneumoconiosis refers to a lung disease caused by the inhalation and retention in the lungs of coal dust. There is a long delay always exceeding 10 years between exposure to coal dust and the onset of the disease and most new cases or deaths from coal workers pneumoconiosis reflect working conditions of the past. Coal miners' pneumoconiosis is caused by the inhalation of coal dust particles that are approximately 2-5 micrometres in diameter and are retained in the small airways and alveoli of the lung. The passage of time allows continual abrasion and irritation by the coal particles causing normal lung tissue to be replaced by fibrous scar tissue thereby reducing the lungs ability to exchange gases and absorb oxygen.

Negligence
Recent studies indicate that one in 20 of those exposed to dust has X-ray evidence of pneumoconiosis which is not reversible. UK laws require that industrial dust levels be controlled to reduce the risk of pneumoconiosis. An employer who has failed to comply with safety regulations will be held liable in negligence and must pay damages for any injury.
