A Toxicological Study of the Respirable Coal Mine Dust: Assessment of Different Dust Sources within the Same Mine

Abstract: Respirable coal mine dust (RCMD) exposure is one of the utmost health hazards to the mining community causing various health issues, including coal worker pneumoconiosis (CWP). Considering multiple potential sources of RCMD having different physicochemical properties within the same mine suggests a wide range of health impacts that have not yet been studied extensively. In this work, we investigate the toxicity of lab-created RCMD based on different sources: coal seam, rock dust, host floor, and host roof coll… Show more

“…The high porosity of low-grade coal, coupled with its moisture content of 30-50%, enables it to react well with oxygen. If spontaneous combustion occurs in the CSS, less carbon monoxide is emitted, posing a significant risk to the safety of field workers [10][11][12]. The safest concentration of carbon monoxide required inside an indoor storage facility is 30 ppm.…”
