| Abstract | The US coal mine dust (“CMD”) standard is among the lowest in the world. Lowering exposures to <2 milligrams per cubic meter (“mg/m3”) markedly reduced prevalence of coal workers pneumoconiosis (“CWP”). Lowering the standard to 1 mg/m3 is proposed because of a recent increase in rapidly progressive coal workers pneumoconiosis. The question addressed in this review is whether coal rank should be considered in setting a new standard. In 1949 the first British coal dust standard for anthracite was 650 particles/cm3 compared to 850 particles/cm3 for lower ranked coals. The TLV for anthracite is 0.4 mg/m3. |
