Dust Control – Soil Stabilization – Erosion Control

New rules to reduce miners’ exposure to coal dust will be proposed within a couple of weeks, according to the nation’s top mine supervisory body.

Joseph Main, the new head of the federal Mine Safety and Health Organization, said he has long thought there is “a need to lower the intensity of unhealthy dust in mines,” and he indicated that a new, wearable dust control monitor that can continuously measure miners’ contact to coal dust may be part of the new rules.

“A mechanism has been built, it has been tested, I’ve worn it myself. It works,” Main told the media in a meeting call Friday. “It’s a tool we can now utilize to help fix this dilemma of unhealthy coal mine dust that has plagued miners.”

That dust can cause deadly black lung, which has killed more than 21,000 miners from Kentucky and other coal-producing states since the mid-1980s.

Techniques for removing dust from the air have varied over the years. During that time, methods have focused on a dust collection and suppression system. The difference between a dust collector and a dust suppression system is how the dust is initially treated. Dust collectors form a vacuum to capture the dust and remove it from the surrounding air. It is then transferred to a filter or bag for proper disposal. A dust suppression system does not attempt to remove the dust from the physical area. Instead it places it back to its source. Best of all, a dust suppression system is more affordable.
