Coal dust

Coal dust consists of tiny particles generated during the mining, processing, and handling of coal. These microscopic fragments can become airborne, posing health risks to workers through inhalation, potentially causing respiratory issues like pneumoconiosis. Additionally, coal dust is combustible and can contribute to industrial fires or explosions if not properly managed. Its presence in the environment can also lead to pollution, affecting air quality and surrounding ecosystems. Managing coal dust requires proper ventilation, dust suppression techniques, and safety protocols to protect health and prevent accidents.
