Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis is the technical term for something coal miners and their families have had to cope with for centuries: Black Lung Disease. This disease is caused when coal dust is inhaled over long periods of time, and it causes thick scar tissue to form over the delicate membranes inside the lungs. Breathing becomes more difficult over time and eventually becomes impossible.
Many manufacturers make masks that are supposed to prevent Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis but prove to be dangerous defective. Because the disease does not cause any major symptoms until many years after exposure, most workers are unaware that their respirators have failed them. Thousands of miners over the last few years have lodged suits against respirator manufacturers because they developed Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis in their later years.
If you are among the workers that developed Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis because a trusted respirator failed to protect your lungs, you have rights.
