The combined failure of government, medicine, and industry to halt the spread of this disease-and even to acknowledge its existence-resulted in a national tragedy, the effects of which are still being felt.The book begins in the late nineteenth century, when the disorders brought on by exposure to coal mine dust were first identified as components of a debilitating and distinctive illness. For several decades thereafter, coal miners' dust disease was accepted, in both lay and professional circles, as a major industrial disease. Derickson describes how after the turn of the century medical professionals and industry representatives worked to discredit and supplant knowledge about black lung, with such success that this disease ceased to be recognized. Many authorities maintained that breathing coal mine dust was actually beneficial to health.Derickson shows that activists ultimately forced society to overcome its complacency about this deadly and preventable disease. He chronicles the growth of an unprecedented movement-from the turn-of-the-century miners' union, to the social medicine activists in the mid-twentieth century, and the black lung insurgents of the late sixties-which eventually won landmark protections and compensation with the enactment of the Federal Coal Mine Health and Safety Act in 1969. An extraordinary work of scholarship, Black Lung exposes the enormous human cost of producing the energy source responsible for making the United States the world's preeminent industrial nation. 606 $aLungs$xDust diseases$zUnited States$xHistory 606 $aCoal miners$xHealth and hygiene$zUnited States 606 $aCoal miners$xLegal status, laws, etc$zUnited States 615 0$aLungs$xDust diseases$xHistory. 615 0$aCoal miners$xHealth and hygiene 615 0$aCoal miners$xLegal status, laws, etc. 676 $a616.2/44 700 $aDerickson$b Alan$01606819 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813664803321 996 $aBlack lung$93932781 997 $aUNINA LEADER 04281nam 22006855 450 001 9910298400203321 005 20251116203744.0 010 $a3-319-98836-0 024 7 $a10.1007/978-3-319-98836-8 035 $a(CKB)4100000007110506 035 $a(MiAaPQ)EBC5596974 035 $a(DE-He213)978-3-319-98836-8 035 $a(PPN)232471541 035 $a(EXLCZ)994100000007110506 100 $a20181104d2018 u| 0 101 0 $aeng 135 $aurcnu|||||||| 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 10$a(Endo)symbiotic Methanogenic Archaea /$fedited by Johannes H.

Further chapters discuss the genomic consequences of living together in symbiotic associations, the role of methanogens in syntrophic degradation, and the function and evolution of hydrogenosomes, hydrogen-producing organelles of certain anaerobic protists. Methanogens are prokaryotic microorganisms that produce methane as an end-product of a complex biochemical pathway. They are strictly anaerobic archaea and occupy a wide variety of anoxic environments. Methanogens also thrive in the cytoplasm of anaerobic unicellular eukaryotes and in the gastrointestinal tracts of animals and humans. The symbiotic methanogens in the gastrointestinal tracts of ruminants and other ?methanogenic? mammals contribute significantly to the global methane budget; especially the rumen hosts an impressive diversity of methanogens. This makes this updated volume an interesting read for scientists and students in Microbiology and Physiology. 410 0$aMicrobiology Monographs,$x1862-5576 ;$v19 606 $aMicrobiology 606 $aPhysiology 606 $aCytology 606 $aBiochemistry 606 $aCell physiology 606 $aMicrobial ecology 606 $aMicrobiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L23004 606 $aAnimal Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33030 606 $aCell Biology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008 606 $aBiochemistry, general$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005 606 $aCell Physiology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L33010 606 $aMicrobial Ecology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L19082 615 0$aMicrobiology. 615 0$aPhysiology. 615 0$aCytology. 615 0$aBiochemistry. 615 0$aCell physiology. 615 0$aMicrobial ecology. 615 14$aMicrobiology. 615 24$aAnimal Physiology. 615 24$aCell Biology. 615 24$aBiochemistry, general. 615 24$aCell Physiology. 615 24$aMicrobial Ecology. 676 $a574.876 702 $aHackstein$b Johannes H.
