Résumé du livre
High-resolution mass spectrometry was used to analyze the organic material in respiratory-size coal dust (prepared) and mine dust (collected in coal mines). The objective was to identify and classify the organic compounds in respirable mine dust obtained from mining regions of high- and low-incidence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP). Analyses of organic material from mine dust and raw coal samples collected in mines having both low- and high-incidence of pneumoconiosis, from various rank coals, and from different geographic areas were compared.
