摘要
Belt and King (1945) studied the tissue reactions produced in animals by selected dusts from South Wales coal mines, and found that clean coal (low ash coal fraction containing 99% coal) produced only minimal fibrosis (grade 1) with simple foreign body reaction in 250 to 500 days. In experiments with high ash coal fractions which contained from 37 to 66% coal and aboLit 1 to 3% quartz, the rest being kaolin and mica, grade 1 fibrosis was also produced in 250 days ; and the reticulin was slightly denser in character, although it could not be classified as grade 2 fibrosis. In their experi ments with airborne dusts, they examined 14 samples from six different mines, which included anthracite mines with both a high and low incidence of silicosis, and also steam coal and bituminous coal mines. Nine of these samples produced only a simple foreign body reaction with grade 1 fibrosis, the average coal content of these nine samples being 85%, and the average siliceous mineral content 13 %. The remaining five samples produced something more than a foreign body reaction, and fibrosis was of grades 2 and 3. These dusts averaged 74% of coal and contained 39, 28, 14, 17, and 15% (average 22%) of siliceous minerals, there being a considerable overlap between the two groups. Further studies were made using artificial mix tures of airborne mine dusts with amounts of pure quartz which were varied from 19 to 28%, and in one case made as high as 51%. In all these experi ments, at the end of one year, the fibrosis was of grade 4 type, and no difference could be found between anthracite and bituminous coal mine dusts.
