What Does CWP Stand For?

CWP stands for Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis

CWP, or Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis, is a lung disease caused by the inhalation of coal dust over an extended period. It primarily affects coal miners and leads to the accumulation of coal dust in the lungs, resulting in inflammation, scarring, and impaired lung function. Symptoms may include cough, shortness of breath, and chest pain. CWP is a preventable condition, and adherence to safety regulations and the use of respiratory protective equipment can significantly reduce the risk of developing this occupational disease.
