"Turkey provided the last great wave of immigrant labour for Belgium's coal mines, at a time when the industry had already reached the stage of terminal decline. The proportion of underground workers who were Turks rose from 10% to 20% between 1964 and 1974, peaking at a quarter during the 1980s. But what were their working conditions, and how did these impact on their health?"
