THE OCCURRENCE OF WEIL'S DISEASE AMONG MINERS IN THE WEST OF SCOTLAND BY R. D. STUART From the Bacteriology Department, University of Glasgow, at the Royal Infirmary, Glasgow THE occupational incidence of Weil's disease is well recognized. In this country it is most usual in coal-miners, fish-cleaners and sewer-workers. In

Read MoreInhalation of dust generated by coal mining can lead to the development of coal mine dust lung disease (CMDLD). In addition to the classical coal workers’ pneu-moconiosis (CWP) and its severe and potentially fatal form, complicated or progressive massive fibrosis (PMF), CMDLD also includes mixed-dust pneumoconiosis with
