Yesterday, miners gathered outside the Department of Labor to encourage President Trump to enforce black lung protections, including the Silica rule.

Black lung disease has been on the rise for twenty years, affecting thousands of coal mining families across the country. The disease is incurable and progressive, meaning that it gets worse over time. One reason that it has been increasing is due to increased silica or rock dust within coal seams. Silica dust is more toxic than coal dust and penetrates deeper into miners' lungs. The dust particles are sharp and can lodge in the lungs permanently, leading to more severe and rapid-onset forms of the disease.

If you are a coal miner you should get your lungs checked. Give us a call today to see how we can help! (724) 941-1650

Miners, their supporters and medical experts rallied in Washington, calling on the Trump administration to enforce black lung protections.
