Dust Control in Rock Drilling [PDF]

American Journal of Public Health and the Nations Health, 1940
THE importance of silicosis as an occupational disease has been demonstrated in many industries. Such investigations have shown rock drilling in hard-rock mining and other drilling operations to be hazardous, even including open drilling in quarries, road construction, and building excavation.

A Study on Dust-Control Technology Used for Large Mining Heights Based on the Optimization Design of a Tracking Spray Nozzle

Atmosphere, 2023
Intense cutting-induced dust production in fully mechanized mining faces (FMMFs) with large mining heights produces a high amount of dust that is difficult to capture and severely affects the working environment, threatening the health of occupational ...

Dust Control Measures in the Construction Industry [PDF]

The Annals of Occupational Hygiene, 2003
Quartz is a human carcinogen and a causative agent of silicosis. Exposure levels often exceed exposure limits in the construction industry. The need for effective control measures is high, but the complex structure of the construction industry, the variability in sources of exposure and the frequent changes of worksite makes it difficult to implement ...

Review on role of NLRP3 inflammasome in pathogenesis of silicosis

环境与职业医学, 2022
Silicosis is one of the most common forms of pneumoconiosis globally. Workers who engage in mining, construction, ceramics, and many other industries have a high risk of developing silicosis. Chronic and repeated inhalation of free silica (SiO2) dust (

VX-765 attenuates silica-induced lung inflammatory injury and fibrosis by modulating alveolar macrophages pyroptosis in mice

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2023
Silicosis is a diffuse fibrotic lung disease in which excessive inflammatory responses are triggered by silica exposure. Pyroptosis, a pro-inflammatory mode of programmed cell death, is mediated by gasdermin and may play a pivotal role in the development

Prediction of heterogeneous nucleation condensation effect on the surface of respiratory coal dust and test of dust reduction test

Meitan xuebao
Surface wettability of coal dust particles is an important factor restricting the efficiency of wet dust removal. Heterogeneous nucleation condensation on the surface of coal dust particles is a means without any pollution, without considering the ...

Calpain small subunit homodimerization is robust and calcium‐independent

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Calpains dimerize via penta‐EF‐hand (PEF) domains. Using single‐molecule force spectroscopy, we measured the strength and kinetics of PEF–PEF homodimer binding. The interaction is robust, shows a transient conformational step before dissociation, and remains largely insensitive to Ca2+.
