Coal miners are exposed to multiple hazards on the job and are at risk for certain occupational illnesses, including black lung disease.
The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) estimated that in 2012, seven percent of coal miners who worked a minimum of 25 years had black lung. In 2018, that number was 10 percent.
