Abstract

Underground coal mining has been a crucial part of Kazakhstan’s economy for the last 30 years, yet little is known about the burden of respiratory disease and trauma among Kazakhstan miners. A cross-sectional survey among a random sample of working miners was conducted; demographic, work, and health information were collected using a standardized questionnaire.
