Ill health in miners was attributed variously to tuberculosis, quartz exposure or cigarette smoking. An acceptance that coal dust was harmful only started with investigative radiology and pathology in the 1920s, and physiology in the 1950s. Most of the early investigations were in South Wales, the centre of the most important coal field in Great Britain. Among the investigators was Professor Jethro Gough who, with his technician James Wentworth, introduced a technique for making thick sections of whole, inflated lungs on paper backing. Here, we describe this method and its central role in understanding the relationships between coal dust exposure, pneumoconiosis, emphysema and lung dysfunction in miners.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/14782715221088982","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,16]],"date-time":"2022-06-16T10:09:15Z","timestamp":1655374155000},"page":"65-72","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["The recognition of lung disease in coal workers: The role of Gough\u2013Wentworth whole lung sections"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"52","author":[{"given":"Ken","family":"Donaldson","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgeons\u2019 Hall Museums, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William A","family":"Wallace","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Royal Infirmary of Edinburgh and Division of Pathology, University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"William","family":"MacNee","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Christopher","family":"Henry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Surgeons Hall Museums, Royal College of Surgeons of Edinburgh, Edinburgh, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anthony","family":"Seaton","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Aberdeen, Aberdeen, UK"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,6,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-14782715221088982","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.4997\/jrcpe.2017.317"},{"key":"bibr2-14782715221088982","volume-title":"Farewell, King Coal: From Industrial Triumph to Climatic Disaster","author":"Seaton A.","year":"2018"},{"key":"bibr3-14782715221088982","volume":"1","author":"Fletcher CM","year":"1948","journal-title":"Br Med J"},{"key":"bibr4-14782715221088982","volume":"10","author":"Collis EL","year":"1928","journal-title":"J Ind Hyg"},{"key":"bibr5-14782715221088982","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1002\/path.1700300407"},{"key":"bibr6-14782715221088982","volume":"36","author":"Cummins SL","year":"1936","journal-title":"J Hyg (Lond)"},{"key":"bibr7-14782715221088982","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093\/occmed\/50.6.440"},{"key":"bibr8-14782715221088982","volume":"11","author":"Hart PD","year":"1998","journal-title":"Soc Hist Med"},{"key":"bibr9-14782715221088982","unstructured":"Hart PD, Aslett EA.
