BadhamBadham's most significant research was on dust diseases of the lungs of workers in coal-mines and in sandstone tunnels, for which he received international recognition. He developed methods of dust sampling and did pathology examinations of miners' lungs and also animal experiments on the effect of injected and inhaled dusts. silica and carbon. Badham played an important role in introducing compensation for workers with dusted lungs in New South Wales. He was associate editor of the Journal of Industrial Hygiene and Toxicology. With H. B. Taylor, assistant government analyst, he showed that there was normally some lead excretion in the urine of Sydney residents and established the level. Lead was then the main industrial poison and Badham worked for regulations for its control, which were gazetted in 1928. He also reported on a sugar dust explosion, occupational dermatitis in rubber works and ventilation in wine cellars.
