Dust are fine particles of matter. It generally consists of particles in the atmosphere that come from various sources such as soil, dust lifted by weather , Coal Mines and pollution. Companies in the mining industry are tasked with monitoring and controlling their dust emissions.
Working conditions in mining are associated with a considerable number of health risk factors, such as high physical workload, noise, vibration, radiation exposure, diesel exhaust, high temperature and humidity, and exposure to dust and gas phase hazardous substances.
Inhalation of all mine dust is associated with the development of pulmonary disease in miners an occupational respiratory disease of miners occurs due to exposure to respirable dust generated during various mining operations.
Dust can cause a host of problems for mining operations, such as low-visibility issues and equipment failure, and can also be linked to health problems, such as asthma, lung cancer, and heart disease.
