5th Annual Dust and Respiratory Health Forum

The Dust and Respiratory Health Forum brings together experts from around the world and features the advancements and latest trends in the management of dust and mine dust lung diseases.

It aims to develop collaborations and sharing of best practice to improve the health, safety and treatment options for mine workers suffering from occupational dust lung diseases.

Dust lung diseases can lead to long-term health problems, and they continue to be a significant risk for mine workers around the world. Worryingly, there is still no holistic picture of the overall risk of these diseases or the risk factors in development and progression, which makes the Forum  an important opportunity to share knowledge and experience.

Organised by the Sustainable Minerals Institute's Minerals Industry Safety and Health Centre, the Forum takes place at The University of Queensland's St Lucia campus.
