论文摘要
地面采矿已成为阿巴拉契亚中部煤矿开采的主要方法，以及传统的地下采矿。人们对这种表面开采的健康影响引起了人们的关注，尤其是山顶去除开采，在山顶上开采了煤炭，通过清除山顶通过清晰的森林和爆炸物来开采陡峭的山顶。我们设计了一项匹配的观察性研究，以评估阿巴拉契亚中部中部表面挖掘对不良出生结果的影响。该协议为研究描述了背景和动机，样本选择和分析计划。
Surface mining has become a major method of coal mining in Central Appalachia alongside the traditional underground mining. Concerns have been raised about the health effects of this surface mining, particularly mountaintop removal mining where coal is mined upon steep mountaintops by removing the mountaintop through clearcutting forests and explosives. We have designed a matched observational study to assess the effects of surface mining in Central Appalachia on adverse birth outcomes. This protocol describes for the study the background and motivation, the sample selection and the analysis plan.
