crusher cone, normally on the conveyor to wet the aggregate is very effective in reducing the overall dust / airborne silica. → On concrete batch plants use a water spray on the conveyor(s)
Silica dust can cause silicosis, a serious and irreversible lung disease. It can also cause lung cancer. Cutting, breaking, crushing, drilling, grinding, or blasting concrete or stone releases the dust. As workers breathe in the dust the silica
Exposure to crystalline silica is a common hazard in tasks and industries where materials containing silica are manipulated or processed. Industry Tasks Materials Construction Cutting,
Run silica sand in disc grinders in between samples to prevent cross contamination of samples. Rinse components of grinder with acetone. 4. If applicable, homogenize fine-grained material
201788;The U.S Department of Labor will start enforcing its new concrete silica dust ruling for construction on September 23, 2017 (moved from June 23, 2017). With those new
Respirable crystalline silica – very small particles at least 100 times smaller than ordinary sand you might find on beaches and playgrounds – is created when cutting, sawing, grinding,
2024212;This dust is generated during activities such as cutting, drilling, grinding, or crushing materials like concrete, stone, brick, and sandstone. Over time, exposure to silica

Applying water to a saw blade when cutting materials that contain crystalline silica — such as stone, rock, concrete, brick, and block — substantially reduces the amount of dust created during these operations. Crushing Machines Fact
227;Crystalline silica refers to a group of minerals composed of silicon and oxygen found in asphalt, concrete and rocks. Respirable refers to the silica being small enough to
Concrete cutting, a common work practice in the construction industry, is a major contributor to dust generation. In this case study, a water-soluble surfactant additive was used in the
Sampling surveys have shown that underground crushing facilities, which include the dump, the crushers, and the associated conveyor belts and transfer points, can be a significant source of
202433;crystalline silica dust. When inhaled, the small particles of silica can irreversibly damage the lungs. That’s an especially big concern for Myranda Murry Lasley, whose home in
Controlling and minimizing exposure to silica dust requires proper wet dust suppression for rock crushers. Because water has a relatively high surface tension (72 dynes per cm), it alone

201781;Eye contact to airborne concrete dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Acute Skin: Skin contact with concrete dust may cause irritation Acute
417;Activities such as abrasive blasting with sand, sawing brick and concrete, sanding or drilling into concrete walls, grinding mortar and cutting or crushing stone exposes
ACI defines silica fume, in CT-18 ACI Concrete Terminology, as “very fine non-crystalline silica produced in electric arc furnaces as a byproduct of the production of elemental silicon or alloys
Individuals who perform construction activities such as cutting, sawing, drilling, and crushing of concrete, brick, ceramic tiles, rock and stone products are unnecessarily putting themselves at risk of contracting deadly diseases
Everyone involved in tasks that produce airborne silica dust, including Project Managers, Foremen, Superintendents, and workers must receive training before being assigned work.
