Abstract. Mineral dusts produced from mining activities pose a risk to human health and the surrounding environment. The particle size distribution of dust is important for determining environmental, occupational health and physiological impacts. Dust is generally thought of as particulates with a diameter of between 1 and 60 μm, but it can be ...Web

The dust generation rate of coal is mainly affected by its physical properties [15], and will present obvious differences due to its moisture, hardness, pore structure, etc. Marjo et al.
