Although prevention efforts have been taken for many decades, CWP is still a public health issue around the world [2]. Especially in developing countries where coal is the main energy source, millions of workers are exposed to coal dust during their professional activities. Published literatures reported that more than 20 million workers are exposed to coal dust in the workplace in China and India alone [3, 4]. In addition, several international or national plans and programs were conducted to control industrial coal dust and prevent CWP since 1990. However, the global incidence and disease burden of CWP and their temporal trends over time are limited.FootnotesThis manuscript has recently been accepted for publication in the European Respiratory Journal.
