A Comparison of Two Methods of Sampling and Analysis for Free Crystalline Silica α-Quartz
Abstract
Two methods of sampling and analysis for silica (free crystalline silica α-quartz) were compared, using samples collected in an underground gold-mining environment. Ten airborne respirable dust sampling systems were set up and run simultaneously at varied locations (ore pass, drifts, and stopes) and tasks in an area sampling program.
