possess been aware of or understand the necessity
for - but also for many workers, monitoring of
dust is a vital daily practice.

What's dust?
Dust is the generic term put on any fine
particles that is found suspended in the earth's
atmosphere. Dust arises from a broad array of
environmental sources such as soil, sand, fire,
pollens and spores in the natural world in
addition to human industry and spontaneous or
controlled fossil fuel combustion. In all cases,
dust is formed when fine particles of a solid
substance are dispersed into the atmosphere
through the passage of wind or other types of
movement in the environment. Dust is not
necessarily visible to the naked eye, although
high levels of fine particles might be apparent
as a mist or haze.

How come dust monitoring important?
For workers in high-risk industries, such as
those in mines or at chemical plants, monitoring
of dust is a vital occupational safety procedure.
This is because dust particles are so fine that
they can be absorbed into the bloodstream through
the lungs causing toxic poisoning and potentially
fatal health risks. Industrial dusts can support
the waste of heavy metals such as mercury and
cadmium which can be extremely detrimental to
human health, but even dust particles from the
surrounding can be dangerous. In all its forms,
dust has been found to subscribe to various
diseases and conditions such as lung cancer, lung
disease, respiratory illness and serious allergy
symptoms and so the significance of dust
monitoring should never be underestimated.
