Abstract

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study was to observe the relationship between exposure to coal mine fuel vehicle exhaust and the respiratory system of the organism, with a particular focus on lung function damage, and to explore the risk factors for the occurrence of lung function decline in coal miners. Methods The current situation study was used to select the study subjects from the coal miners who underwent physical examination in northern Shaanxi in 2021 by cluster sampling. The subjects were divided into two groups based on their lung function: a normal group and an abnormal group. The relationship between lung function abnormalities and exposure to coal mine fuel vehicle exhaust was then examined using multifactorial logistic regression. Results A total of 564 study subjects were included, and the differences in age, gender, and length of service between the normal and abnormal lung function groups of coal miners in northern Shaanxi were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). The differences in carbon dioxide (CO₂), nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen dioxide (NO₂) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH) exposure between the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). After adjusting for potential confounding factors such as age and seniority, miners exposed to high levels of NO (OR=2.01, 95% CI: 1.43-3.04, P < 0.001) and PAH (OR=1.81, 95% CI: 1.01-4.18, P < 0.05) exhibited a heightened risk of developing lung injury. Injury risk was observed among coal miners with high CO₂ exposure (OR =1.24, 95% CI: 0.71-2.36)and NO₂ exposure (OR=1.43, 95% CI: 0.54-4.17), but no significant difference was noted between these groups (all P>0.05). Conclusions Among coal miners, males, older, and seniority, exposure to NO and PAH from fuel vehicle exhaust are risk factors for lung function impairment. It is suggested that targeted protective measures should be taken to reduce lung function injury in coal miners.
