Comprehensive assessment of the dust environment at the construction industry enterprises

Abstract

Most technological lines for the production of building materials, products and structures are accompanied by dustemission at almost all stages of their production. In the absence or imperfection of aspiration systems, the concentration of dust in the working area air can be many times higher than the standard values. In this case, unfavorable working conditions are most often caused by an increased concentration of dust in the air of industrial premises. Assessment of the dust environment at industrial enterprises, as a rule, is understood as the study of air in working areas, the power of dust emissions into the atmosphere, as well as the efficiency of dust cleaning devices [1].

Comparative Study of Exposure Assessment of Dust in Building Materials Enterprises Using ART and Monte Carlo

“…The dust generated during the processing of building materials enterprises can pose a serious health risk [ 1 ]. The current research on dust in building materials enterprises mainly focuses on the study of dust removal technology [ 2 ] and the comprehensive evaluation of dust [ 3 ]. Some scholars have also studied dust exposure in building material enterprises, but the exposure assessment process is complicated and computationally intensive due to the lack of selection of an appropriate exposure assessment model [ 4 ].…”
