Miners' Exposure to Air Pollution

Storyline: Until recently, miners were not protected from exposure to particulate emissions issuing from their diesel vehicles and machinery. Although many studies have shown fine particulate matter to be a serious health threat, mining companies have traditionally fought against laws that would require emissions control technology to be retrofitted on equipment in order to protect the health of their workers. Recent court rulings are changing the state of air quality in mines.
