Abstract

Striking differences in the prevalence of coal workers' pneumoconiosis (CWP) exist between different coal mine regions. The major factors responsible for the observed regional differences in CWP have not yet been identified. In the present study, chemical reactivity of the carbon-centered free radicals in coals and lung tissues, as well as ferrous iron in the coals, were studied by ESR techniques. The ESR spectra clearly demonstrated the presence of at least two types of carbon-centered free radical species, which might respectively attribute to the macromolecular phase and the molecular phase of coal. Grinding produced free radicals in coals. Exposure of freshly ground coal to air for 28 h induced a slight increase of free radicals for most of the coals, and a slight decrease after 4 months' exposure. The lung tissue samples of coal workers deceased of CWP showed similar ESR spectra as coal samples, and these radicals were highly stable in the lung. After incubation of coals with glutathione, hydrogen peroxide, sodium formate or oxygen, the coal sample from the Gardanne mine which has never induced CWP, and thus is the least hazardous coal, showed the most significant change in the carbon-centered free radical concentration. No significant changes were observed among other coals reported to induce CWP. On the other hand, we found that the coals released different amounts of Fe2+ in an acidic medium. Interestingly, the prevalence of CWP correlates positively with the released…

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
