Description

Presence of dust containing trace elements in ambient air due to coal mining operation is a source of major health threat. The coal and overburden from coal fields have been observed to contain significant concentration of trace elements. The air borne fly ash is enriched with toxic trace element during burning operation in air environment. The suspended and respirable dusts are produced due to dust blasting, drilling, transportation and coal screening operation in coal minings. Control strategy and preventive measures to mitigate disaster due to dust and trace elements are delineated. (author). 11 refs., 6 tabs
