Occupational Dust Hazards and Risk Assessment of Coal-Fired Thermal Power Plants of Different Capacities — China, 2017–2019

WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Silica dust and coal dust are the main occupational hazards in coal-fired thermal power plants, which mainly exist in coal transportation workplaces, combustion milling workplaces, and ash removal workplaces. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The overall environme...

description WHAT IS ALREADY KNOWN ABOUT THIS TOPIC? Silica dust and coal dust are the main occupational hazards in coal-fired thermal power plants, which mainly exist in coal transportation workplaces, combustion milling workplaces, and ash removal workplaces. WHAT IS ADDED BY THIS REPORT? The overall environmental and personal dust exposure levels decrease with an increase in the capacity of coal-fired thermal power plants, the overall dust hazard risk level of the workforce in coal-fired is Medium. WHAT ARE THE IMPLICATIONS FOR PUBLIC HEALTH PRACTICE? Dust management should be conducted in the coal-fired thermal power plant in 300 million watt units because it has the highest dust exposure level, and ash removal workplaces and combustion milling workplaces are key control points for dust hazards.
