Come with Mad Mumzie as she goes for a mine dust lung disease check up, including chest Xray. What is involved? What did she do wrong along the way, and what you need to know for your check-ups. Why have one? Mine dust lung diseases (MDLD) are occupational lung disorders that result from prolonged exposure to high concentrations of respirable dust. MDLD can take a decade or longer to develop and may not show any symptoms for a long time. Therefore, early detection and prevention are very important.
