Mining & Metals Industry 

Mine workers are constantly exposed to a variety of dust particles with different chemical compositions. These particles can include crystalline silica, coal dust, and even hazardous metals like lead, cadmium, and asbestos. Each type of dust has its own impact on health. For instance, inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust can lead to lung scarring, while exposure to lead dust can damage the central nervous system. It's important to note that occupational diseases often develop over many years of exposure to dust, and sometimes it can take decades for symptoms to appear. 

Maintaining optimal air quality and ventilation in the mining industry is of utmost importance for the well-being and safety of employees. Underground mines are particularly susceptible to poor air quality due to various factors such as dust, gases, and heat. Check out some essential considerations and practices related to air quality and ventilation in the mining industry in our e-book.
