摘要

摘要本研究考察了阿巴拉契亚中部的采矿活动与阿片类药物使用之间的关系。阿巴拉契亚中部以煤矿开采而闻名，是美国阿片类药物使用率最高的地区之一。特别令人感兴趣的是山顶移除采矿（MTR）。MTR是一种地表采矿形式，在引爆炸药以露出煤脉之前，需要清理山区的森林。矿脉揭示了使用传统地下采矿方法无法开采的煤炭。MTR已被证明与许多不良健康影响有关，包括癌症、严重疾病和药物滥用相关住院率的增加。这项研究的研究人员假设MTR对健康的不良影响可能会影响阿片类药物的滥用。这项研究的结果揭示了阿巴拉契亚中部各县的采矿实践与阿片类药物相关的出院率和处方率之间的关系。

The role of mountaintop removal mining in the opioid crisis

ABSTRACT This study examines the relationship between mining practices in Central Appalachia and opioid use. Central Appalachia, known for coal mining, has one of the highest rates of opioid use in the U.S. Of particular interest is Mountaintop Removal Mining (MTR). MTR is a form of surface mining that requires clearcutting the mountain’s forest before detonating explosives to reveal a coal vein. The vein reveals coal that would not have been accessible using traditional underground mining methods. MTR has been shown to be connected to many adverse health effects, including increased rates of cancer, serious illness, and substance abuse related hospitalizations. The researchers of this study hypothesize that the adverse health effects of MTR may influence opioid abuse. The results of this study revealed a relationship between mining practices in Central Appalachian counties and opioid-related hospital discharge rates and prescription rates.
