Protection Against Dust by Respirators [PDF]
International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 1995 This article is a brief review of the mechanism of action of fibrous filters and of the performance of respirators; it neglects many of the complications discussed in longer and more detailed articles. An expression is given for the pressure drop across a filter in terms of fibre diameter and filtration velocity.

The design of a laboratory apparatus to simulate the dust generated by longwall shield advances
International Journal of Coal Science & Technology, 2019 A laboratory apparatus (shield dust simulator) was designed and constructed to simulate the dust generated during the advance of longwall hydraulic roof supports, or shields. The objective of the study was to develop a tool that could be used to test the

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.EXOSC10, an essential nuclear RNA exosome‐associated 3′‐5′ exoribonuclease, is inhibited by the anticancer drug 5‐fluorouracil (5‐FU), and EXOSC10 depletion increases 5‐FU sensitivity. The colon‐cancer variant EXOSC10S402T, located in a proteolysis motif, is stable and nuclear but nonfunctional in vivo.

Measuring Plutonium Concentrations in Respirable Dust [PDF]
Science, 1977 C. J. Johnson et al. (Science 193:488 (1976)) separated the respirable fraction of surface dust by ultrasonic dispersion and water sedimentation. This probably resulted in respirable fractions that included particulates too large to fall within the respirable size range, and reasons for believing this is the case are given.
