Overview
Screening for pneumoconiosis includes using chest radiography on workers exposed to certain particles as a part of preventative care.
Screening
Future methods of screening workers include measuring serum SMRP and fibulin-3, CEA, and urinary 8-OHdG and breath testing of pentane, C5-C7 alkanes, and methylated alkanes. [1] [2] [3]
