Abstract
‘There was no disease which was such a terrible scourge in South Africa at all events, as miners phthisis’ (B.W. Madeley in die Volksraad, 9.3.1911).
‘Pneumoconiosis has probably been more intensively investigated than any other occupational disease. Despite all that has been learned and achieved however many problems in dust exposure and control still remain to be solved’ (Proceedings of the First Australian Pneumoconiosis Conference, 1968).
