Aggregates and Mining Today

Contain dust and fines.

In June 2024 the final rule from MSHA on respirable crystalline silica will take effect. This creates a uniform permissible exposure limit for all mines and lowers the permissible exposure to 50 micrograms per cubic meter of air for a full-shift exposure. Sampling, reporting, and corrective actions for overexposures are required.
