The
Dust Control Handbook for Industrial Minerals Mining and Processing, from CDC, NIOSH and U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, was created to help protect the health of miners.
NIOSH says that the mining of minerals process creates large amounts of dust, and if control processes of limiting dust are not up to par, hazardous levels of dust may be exposed to workers, which can cause harmful health effects. The handbook describes the dust-generating process and necessary strategies to control the amounts of harmful dust. Download the complete handbook
