煤矿工人和其他工人的黑肺病

大多数黑肺病发生在那些在煤矿或煤矿周围工作过的人,但其他工人也可能受到影响。黑肺病的主要原因是长期接触煤尘。那些装载煤炭进行储存的人以及那些使用煤炭副产品(例如汽车行业)的人都面临风险。

被诊断患有这种疾病的人的肺部受到煤尘的损害,导致气囊发炎和肺部组织僵硬。经过足够的时间,煤尘会沉降并导致肺部本身变硬。除了完全呼吸衰竭之外,黑肺病还可能演变成其他严重的并发症,例如肺癌。

1969 年黑肺福利法案

黑肺病是一种不治之症。医疗专业人员能够治疗症状,但不能治疗疾病本身。对于那些受到黑肺病影响的人,可以通过 1969 年《黑肺病福利法案》获得援助。多年来,这项政府计划不断修订,为受黑肺病影响的煤矿工人和家庭提供每月付款和医疗福利。
