Overview

This review highlights coal dust's toxic elements and oxidative stress mechanisms in miners, suggesting improved risk assessment frameworks.

Key Points

  • Coal dust exposure leads to significant health risks mainly due to enriched toxic elements in the respirable fraction.
  • In vitro studies demonstrate that acidic environments accelerate toxic metal dissolution, enhancing oxidative stress.
  • The review identifies a knowledge gap in the bioaccessibility of complex organic pollutants, particularly polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.
  • Emerging oxidative potential indicators provide new pathways for understanding health risks associated with coal dust exposure.
