SUMMARY: Black lung cases continue to rise while preventative measures stall out. Despite the 2024 silica rule aimed at reducing miners’ exposure to harmful silica dust, enforcement has been delayed multiple times due to legal challenges. This delay endangers miners, as black lung disease cases increase, with younger patients showing advanced symptoms. Occupational health experts and retired miners emphasize the urgent need for regulation and monitoring, citing decades of known risks since the 1930s. Budget cuts to safety programs worsen the situation. Advocates stress prioritizing miners’ health over profits, hoping for a future where miners can work safely and live fully.

While cases continue to go up, the medical community is also seeing another troubling trend that black lung is affecting miners at a young age in more significant ways due to more silica exposure from smaller coal seams.
