Current Intelligence Bulletin 64: Coal Mine Dust Exposures and Associated Health Outcomes – A Review of Information Published Since 1995

This document updates the information on coal mine dust exposures and associated health effects from 1995 to the present. A principal intent is to determine whether the 1995 recommendations remain valid in the light of the new findings, and whether they need to be updated or supplemented. The report does not deal with issues of sampling and analytical feasibility nor technical feasibility in achieving compliance.
