Implementation of the landmark regulation aimed at preventing black lung disease begins on Aug. 1, according to the U.S. Department of Labor's Mine Safety and Health Administration. "Lowering Miners' Exposure to Respirable Coal Mine Dust, Including Continuous Personal Dust Monitors," was released on May 1 and will be phased in over the next two years at all surface and underground coal mining operations. The first phase of the rule continues the department's efforts through its End Black Lung - Act Now! initiative.
