The first description of occupational lung cancer, by Harting and Hesse in 1879, unfortunately is not readily accessible. Its account of the vicissitudes of the Schneeberg miners merits study and is therefore presented in summary and set in a historical and geological context. The authors attempted to discover the cause of the disease and made recommendations for improving the health of miners. In the course of their programme of investigations, they developed methods for measuring airborne dust and inhaled dust by personal monitoring. It was left to subsequent discovery for radon and its daughter products to be identified as the causal agents. Later generations were to discover the impact of radioactive spoils from mines situated in the mountain range in which Schneeberg was located.
1879年，哈廷和黑塞首次描述了职业性肺癌，遗憾的是，该描述不易获取。他们对施内贝格矿工变迁的记述值得研究，因此在此进行总结，并置于历史和地质背景中。作者试图探寻该病的病因，并提出改善矿工健康的建议。在他们的调查计划过程中，他们开发了通过个人监测来测量空气中粉尘和吸入粉尘的方法。氡及其子体后来才被确认为致病因素。后世将发现位于施内贝格所在山脉中的矿井放射性废料的影响。
