NIOSH will provide free, confidential health screening to working underground coal miners in 16 counties throughout West Virginia this year to provide early detection of coal workers’ pneumoconiosis, also known as “black lung.” The screenings will be provided through the state-of-the-art NIOSH mobile testing van at convenient community locations April 7 – 19, 2008. Information about the NIOSH screening program can be found at http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/topics/surveillance/ORDS/ecwhsp.html or by calling 888-480-4042.
