Jacobson, M; Lamonica, J A

Equipment for evaluating the respirable dust exposure of individual underground coal miners was designed, constructed, and tested by the U.S. Bureau of Mines. As a result, the guidelines for sampling and evaluating the respirable dust concentrations in the breathing zone of individual miners were finalized, and the equipment was made commercially available. The equipment and techniques, which are described in this report, are consistent with the provisions of pending coal mine health legislation governing respirable gravimetric dust concentrations.
