Study Reveals Hidden Threat in Coal Mine Dust

1 month ago | azomining.com | Laura Thomson |Noopur Jain

Reviewed by Laura ThomsonIn a breakthrough study published in Scientific Reports, scientists have uncovered a crucial, often-overlooked hazard in coal mine dust—agglomerates hiding harmful silica particles. These microscopic clusters, once considered harmless or easily broken apart during sampling, are now shown to persist through standard dust analysis procedures and potentially obscure the true extent of silica exposure in mining environments.
