Beschreibung des Produkts

A follow-up to the Faces of Black Lung I video, Faces of Black Lung II is an informational video with testimonials with miners that have the disease who are younger (30s [&] 40s) than the miners who appeared in the first “Faces” video (50s) and commentary from medical experts. The miner’s stories provide the full impact of this disease that is still a very serious risk to coal miners today.

Ziel und Zweck

Black lung disease is preventable. However, coal miners of all ages are still being diagnosed with and dying from the disease. Transferring to less dusty jobs and participating in health screenings can help eliminate black lung.

Coal miners, coal mine operators, physicians, industrial hygienists, and trainers.
