CONT

[...] l'usage du marteau-perforateur pneumatique produit infiniment plus de poussières que son ancêtre la barre à mine [...] et il faut attendre le forage à l'eau pour que le risque s'amenuise. Mais au moment où la silicose semble maîtrisée, la pneumoconiose, imputable aux poussières de charbons, prend le relais.
