Monitoring and Assessment of Airborne Respirable Limestone Dust and Free Silica Content in an Indian Mine

Monitoring and Assessment of Airborne Respirable Limestone Dust and Free Silica Content in an Indian Mine

Background. Dust exposure and its related harmful effects on miners is a serious health issue. Objectives. The present study was undertaken to identify respirable dust concentrations and free silica content in 24 dust samples collected from a limestone mine during pre-monsoon and post-monsoon season...
