Description:
Provided by the Center for Disease Control's (CDC), National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH), this historic image depicted a male industrial worker who was inside a West Virginia ceramics factory, seen here as he was trimming what looked to be greenware dishes, using a motorized rotating lathe. Greenware is newly formed clay pieces that have not been fired to what is termed a 'bisque' state. Working within a clay-processing environment, workers should have taken precautions against the possibility of inhaling airborne particulates, which would lead to the chronic pulmonary disease known as pneumoconiosis, or silicosis, or more commonly known as 'grinders' disease', characterized by the formation of nodular fibrotic changes in the lungs. Note that this man was not wearing a filtered breathing mask, thereby, increasing his chances of contracting silicosis. The image was published in the 'Public Health Bulletin', No. 244, 1939.
