Features: This book primarily introduces the characteristics, health hazards, and prevention and control methods of productive dust. It first outlines the general features of productive dust (Chapter 1), introducing the overall characteristics of productive dust, the principles of monitoring and control of dust in production environments, as well as the principles of occupational health supervision and management in dust-exposed industries. From the second to the seventh chapters, it selects common and highly hazardous dusts in production environments that pose significant health risks to workers, including silica dust (Chapter 2), silicate dust (Chapter 3), carbon dust (Chapter 4), metal and non-metallic dusts and their compounds (Chapter 5), mixed inorganic dust (Chapter 6), and organic dust (Chapter 7). It provides detailed descriptions of the state and characteristics of various dusts in production environments, the pathogenesis of their harm to the body, the clinical manifestations and treatment methods of major lesions, and the principles and main methods of preventing and controlling dust hazards. Finally, it briefly introduces the productive dust that may exist in major industries (Chapter 8). This book can serve as a training textbook for occupational health supervision and management personnel and technicians, safety engineers, and technical personnel in dust-exposed industries such as mining, mechanical processing, metallurgy, and building materials, as well as a reference for students and teachers of relevant majors in colleges and universities.
