CDC’s NIOSH releases new video on black lung disease among coal miners

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) has released a new video demonstrating black lung disease is not confined just to older miners – it is also occurring in younger mine workers.

YouTube has the video.
