Dust control measures in Dutch brickworks / E. Buringh, R. Van De Belt and J.F. Van Der Wal
Sumario: Dust concentrations in Dutch brickwork and the efficiency of measures to reduce exposure to dust were investigated in four representative works. The proyect consisted of three parts. In part 1 total and respirable quartz dust were measured before control measures were recommended or taken. recommendations were made for the introduction at short notice of simple control measures and good housekeeping rules. The works were investigated again a year later to assess the effect of the recommendations (Part 2). Part 3 describes the experiment with nozzles that generate a fine water mist to moisten dusty surfaces and so reduce dust levels. These nozzles reduced respirable dust concentrations to 0.5 mg m exp.(-3) or less, which is acceptable
