title: Health hazards of mining.
abstract: Mining is inherently dangerous both in terms of accident and ill health. Some of the health hazards are common to mining in general; others are related specifically to the nature of the material being mined, though the miner is sometimes at less risk than those who refine and use the product. The answer to the health problems is knowledge of the hazard and concern for the welfare of others on the part of workers, managers, legislators and administrators.
