dc.description.abstractCoal and coal mining industry has great significance to the development of any country; but the unsustainable and unplanned coal mining causes various environmental and health hazards. Thus despite being the most vibrant economic source, the ill planned practices during mining and the absence of health and safety regulations has become the potential source of environmental and occupational health hazards around the Globe specifically in Asian countries and Pakistan is among one of them. In this environmental epidemiological study, real-life patterns of disease and exposures were analyze to examine the associations between occupational environment coal dust exposure determinants and health outcomes of disease at a population level; so this research work has been carried out to identify and highlight the adverse environmental and occupational health impacts among coal miners occur as a result of potential exposure to respirable hazardous dust released during coal mining located in District Nowshera, Cherat including Shakot, Jaba Tar, Jaba Khushk and Dak Ismail Khel, Khyber Pukhtunkhwa, Pakistan. A detailed study was conducted to assess the geo chemical composition of coal raw samples; air quality within the occupational and para-occupational environment and to identify the prevalence of various health hazards particularly pneumoconiosis and silicosis among coal miners working in Cherat coal mines
