Background & Aims of the Study: Dust is one of the detrimental factors in workplace of tile industry. Exposure to excessive amount of dust can create various hazards to the workers. Therefore, the present study aimed to measure the concentration of environmental and respirable dust in air of Birjand Niloofar tile Industry. Materials & Methods: In the present study, using personal...

introduction dust storms, one type of dust event, are in most cases the result of turbulent winds, including convective haboobs, which raise large quantities of dust from desert surfaces and reduce visibility to less than 1 km. this dust reaches concentrations in excess of 6000 mg m3 in severe events. the major dust source regions are areas of arid and hyper-arid, with mean annual rainfalls of ...

Many of the technological processes that take place in installations which cereal products are transported and / or stored, involve existence combustible dusts. These dusts may be suspended air, form accumulations layers deposits dust various thicknesses, lead to fires, explosions catalytic decomposition presence oxygen. If swirling air appropriate proportions an effective source ignition is pr...

introduction: recently, air pollution due to the occurrence of dust storms is one of the worst environmental problems in western and southwestern iran, especially the khuzestan province (12, 13). according to the reports of the meteorological organization of iran the average number of dusty days in the cities of ahvaz and abadan in the khuzestan province reaches 68 and 76 days each year, respec...

 Background: The phenomenon of dust is a serious environmental problem in dry and semi dry regions. It has a destructive effect for the residents of such regions. Over two-thirds of Iran is in areas of dry and semi-dry climate conditions. Methods: In this research, dust fall measurements were taken in 41 stations across Yazd city using a marble dust collector (MDCO) located in diffe...

Background: The release of lead dust during the processing of lead-gold ore has become an environmental threat. Therefore the protection of miners’ health and their environment required remediation which can be achieved by ranking the risk posed by lead in order to prioritize the allocation of resources during remediation. Methods: Soil and water samples were collected at BRC, BRG, BVC, ...
