Air Sampling Programs Detect Elemental Dust Hazards and Asbestos
Read the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) and the Mine Safety and Health Administration (MSHA) report about elemental dusts. Miners are also routinely exposed to carcinogens such as asbestos.
As with mineral dusts, the TLV® for exposure of the miner to mists and elemental dusts may be a single TLV® for a single element or a TLV® representing additive or non-additive multiple exposures.
