Book Description
The 1994 Work-Related Lung Disease Surveillance Report is the third in a series of major surveillance reports compiled by the Division of Respiratory Disease Studies (DRDS), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The purpose of this report is to provide a summary of surveillance data for various occupational respiratory diseases, from a variety of sources, in a readily available format. The majority of the data in this report is for the time period 1968-1990. However, the time period covered varies for some of the data sources. A portion of the data originates from programs and activities administered by DRDS, e.g., information from the Coal Workers' X-Ray Surveillance Program (CWXSP), the National Occupational Health Survey of Mining (NOHSM), and the Sentinel Event Notification System for Occupational Risks (SENSOR). Other data were obtained from publications, reports, and analysis of data provided by the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), the Department of Labor (DOL), the Social Security Administration (SSA), the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA), the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), the Bureau of Mines (BOM), and the Association of Occupational and Environmental Clinics (AOEC).
