Dust is tiny, dry particles in the air and can be produced when materials are cut, drilled, demolished, sanded, shovelled, etc. This means many work activities can create dust. Dust is not always an obvious health hazard as the particles which cause the most damage are often invisible to the naked eye and the health effects of exposure can take

Apr 29, 2019· Respirable dust and quartz data collected and analyzed by Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) were summarized by year, coal mining occupation, and geographical area. The older (before August 2016) 2.0 mg/m 3 respirable dust MSHA permissible exposure limit (PEL) was used across all years for comparative purposes.
One of the important issue involved in coal mining is coal dust, which can lead to a series of health problems (Yao et al., 2020).Nearly the whole mining processes is accompanied by coal dust generation (Shahan and Reed, 2019).Fig. 2 depicts the processes of coal dust generation during mining, showing that dust is generated during coal cutting, transportation and preparation processes ().
