"Activities undertaken in 1977 by NIOSH in relation to the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 are reviewed. Funding for these activities totaled 4.4 million dollars and covered the costs of the medical examinations and autopsy program, clinical and rehabilitation research, engineering research, epidemiological and industrial hygiene research, and laboratory research and services. Of the miners examined in 1977, 98.7 percent had no evidence of pneumoconiosis and approximately 95 percent had no evidence of any other abnormalities. Major projects included an international workshop on Diesel Equipment in Underground Coal Mines, reports on job stress in coal mining, mortality among coal miners, ongoing clinical and laboratory studies, and approximately 300 autopsies. Other activities included the testing and certification of coal mine dust personal sampler units, respirators, gas and vapor detector tubes, sound level meters, safety eyewear, miners' helmets, welders' filter plates, and noise dosimeters. ." - NIOSHTIC-2

"Advancements made in the pursuit of health and safety for miners in both the areas of research and legislation during 1977 and 1978 were reviewed. Investigations into mining safety were given added support in Fiscal Year (FY) 1978 with the passage of the Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977. This year also saw the development of pathologic standards for coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) and associated pulmonary disease in coal miners. Studies continued on the elemental composition of fibrosis and nonfibrosis lesions of CWP, and further evidence was sought of genetic factors in pulmonary response to coal dust. Clinical investigations of respiratory diseases involved several projects aimed at early detection of disease and the use of exercise testing. A national study of CWP was designed to relate CWP progression to levels of respirable coal mine dust exposure, provide a scientific basis for determining progression of disease by serial x-rays, and estimate the industrywide prevalence of CWP. Studies were also designed to examine workers exposure to diesel fumes underground. Mortality data was used to determine to what extent such factors as occupational history, severity of CWP, airway obstruction, and chronic bronchitis might influence excess mortality. A brief summary of the chest x-ray program, provided to miners since 1969, was offered. Two new documents were published in the Federal Register during 1978 which set forth rules revising part of the Code of Federal Regulations entitled chest Roentgenographic Examinations and offered changes to the conditions under which underground coal miners are given the option to transfer to another area of the mine". - NIOSHTIC-2.

"Investigations conducted by NIOSH under the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act of 1969 are reviewed for fiscal year 1979 (FY 79). Laboratory investigations are described which include magnetic mapping of lung tissues from deceased coal and asbestos workers, development of a cell culture system to study fibrogenic potential of mineral dusts, experiments with interferon, and toxicity studies on laboratory animals with diesel exhaust and coal dust. A project to investigate workers fatigue resulting from various design features of respirators is described. Epidemiological studies on workers exposed to diesel emissions, on mortality rates among talc miners, and on the respiratory function status of metal and nonmetal miners are reviewed. The National Study of Coal Workers' Pneumoconiosis is discussed. Other programs underway in FY 79, including chest X-rays for coal miners; health hazard evaluations for coal, talc, and silica workers; mining surveillance; autopsy service; testing and certification of personal protective equipment; and coal mine dust sampling programs are cited."--NIOSHTIC-2.
