Occupational Respirable Mine Dust and Diesel Particulate Matter Hazard Assessment in an Underground Gold Mine in Ghana

BACKGROUND. Underground miners can experience occupational health diseases due to exposure to particulate matter hazards. OBJECTIVES. The aim of the present study was to examine occupational exposures of underground miners to dust and diesel particulate matter and to identify exposure groups with hi...
