PhD Scholarship opportunity
“The Effect of Smelter Emissions on Worker Respiratory Health”
This innovative 4 year multidisciplinary industry partnership study proposes to evaluate the effect of exposure to heavy metals and irritant gases on the respiratory health of smelter workers using a retrospective and prospective study design.
The major outcomes of this leading-edge industry- based multidisciplinary study are expected to be recommendations on workplace risk controls and a medical surveillance program to protect the respiratory health of the smelter workers. The study will inform the metalliferous manufacturing industry and address some of the issues identified in the Parliamentary report into Coal Workers Pneumoconiosis (CWP). eg the systematic failure to diagnose and control the condition. As an above- compliance measure, this will be of benefit to workers, industry and the community generally, given the broad potential scope of recommendations.
