Occupational Exposures and Chronic Airflow Limitation by Helen Dimich-Ward, Susan M Kennedy, Moira Chan-Yeung

“…There is compelling evidence that exposure to inorganic dusts, such as from coal and hardrock mining or asbestos, are associated with the development of chronic airflow limitation, independently of pneumoconiosis. Nonsmoking gold miners are particularly at high risk of airflow obstruction and emphysema. …”
