Hello to all,
I am really working hard on my final projects. I have to papers to write this semester. My paper for this class is on coal miners health issues. I am doing a paper for A&P11 on the circulatory system, which I am narrowing down my topic to circulation issues with the effects of venous ulcers and blood clots. The paper I am writing for comp class is very topic right now. I am focusing on miners saftey issues in mines which of course can result in death with the loss of 29 at the Big Branch Mine and then 2 in Kentucky a week later. I am also looking at the issue of health problems associated with long term work in coal mines. Black lung, all different kinds of respiratory issues are involved with miners health. If anyone has any links or ideas please let me know. I also wanted to mention the crisis in the gulf region with the oil spill. What a disaster beyond belief. It is time we as a nation and people come to terms with the realization that we are killing the very world we live in with this type of continuing problem. We have to find alternatives!!!!!!!!!!!

    Internet sources are endless. This research can be very depressing. Please accept my admiration for your courage.

  2. Dennis,
    If your paper is going to be on the safty issues of coal miners, I am interested in how you are going to incorperate an oil spill. I like your choice in topics. My father was a coal miner for many years. He had the rough job of maintaining the support beams in the tunnels. There were serval times where he had come home, still covered in coal, after another hospital visit. Coal miners have a difficult job and safty is a very big deal. Good luck on your research and I am looking forward to reading your paper.
