Industrial dust

Industrial pollution is formed in the process of industrial and agricultural production and represents an occupational hazard. It may contain various substances, including toxic ones, which determines its danger to the health of workers. The source of industrial pollution is technological processes accompanied by the release of particles ranging in size from fractions of a micron to 100 microns.

Industrial production is distinguished by a wide variety of chemical and mineral composition, depending on the specifics of production. For example, in the mining industry the predominant type is production, containing rock particles. In the metalworking industry, metal production is more common.

Inhalation of P. industrial can cause irritation of the mucous membranes of the respiratory tract, bronchitis, and pneumonia. Accumulating in the lungs, it contributes to the development of pneumoconiosis. In addition, some types of industrial P. have carcinogenic, mutagenic, allergenic and other harmful effects.

To protect against the effects of industrial pests, collective and individual protective equipment, ventilation, aspiration, and irrigation of workplaces are used. Monitoring the content of industrial pollutants in the air of the working area is an important preventive measure.

Industrial dust is one of the most common occupational hazards that can arise during industrial or agricultural production. It is small particles that are formed as a result of friction and destruction of materials, as well as during the processing and transportation of raw materials and finished products.

Industrial dust may contain various chemicals such as metals, plastics, rubber, glass, etc. These substances can be hazardous to human health and cause various diseases, such as allergies, bronchitis, lung cancer and others.

To prevent workers from being exposed to industrial dust, certain precautions must be taken. For example, use special respirators and masks, regularly clean rooms where dust can form, and also regularly monitor the level of harmful substances in the air.

In addition, in some cases, industrial dust can be hazardous to the environment. For example, metal processing can release large amounts of harmful substances that can pollute air and water. Therefore, it is necessary to take measures to reduce emissions of harmful substances and dispose of production waste.

In general, industrial dust is a serious problem for workers and the environment, and measures must be taken to prevent and control it.
