Description:
From 1958, this historical image was provided by the Center for Disease Control's (CDC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). The design of this U.S. Public Health Service Publication (USPHS) cover, No. 601, entitled, 'Pneumoconiosis in Diatomite Mining and Processing', published that year, depicted just a few of the many forms in which diatoms may be found. The publication featured the results of the 1953-1956 USPHS study of miners' who'd been exposed to airborne particulates in diatomaceous earth mining and processing plants, and the resultant negative health consequences including respiratory, ocular, and dermal disorders. The study cohort involved participants from three different western states.
