Particulate matter (PM) from mining operations, engines, and ore processing may have
adverse effects on health and well-being of workers and population living nearby. In this …

The sources Sources and characteristics of particulate matter (PM) were determined in a
modern underground chrome mine in Finland. Measurements were conducted at five …

Considerable scientific evidence shows that inhalation of diesel exhaust particles is
associated with a wide range of adverse health effects. This study examined the …

The composition and distribution of airborne particles in different locations in a salt mine
were determined in terms of their origin, the distance from the air inlet, and the adaptation of …

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 …

We characterized airborne particle samples collected from 15 stations in operation since
2007 in one of the world's largest opencast coal mining regions. Using gravimetric, scanning …

Investigations into the respiratory health impacts of coal mine particulate matter (PM) face
the challenge of understanding its chemical complexity. This includes highly variable …

Particulate matter (PM) is one of the primary pollutants produced from mining operations.
This paper summarizes the existing techniques used to identify sources of PM and their …

Exposure of mine workers to particulate matter (PM) in opencast mines is of major concern
because of associated adverse health impacts. Dispersion of PM in such mines depends on …

Underground railway stations are known to have elevated particulate matter (PM) loads
compared to ambient air. As these particles are derived from metal-rich sources and …
