MSHA sampling at Rices Chapel Mine shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.46 mg/m3 (97% compliant) across 33 samples.
Health sampling
ⓘ
A sample is a point in time compliance measurement, not an individual exposure history. These figures describe MSHA sampling records and do not establish causation or personal dose.
Respirable coal dust
ⓘ
Respirable coal dust and silica figures cover coal facilities. Dust compliance is measured against the current 1.5 mg/m3 standard; samples predating the 2014 standard are included, so compliance rates are a coarse historical signal.
Most recent sample: 2001-06-11.
Silica (quartz)
Most recent sample: 2001-06-19.
Noise
Most recent sample: 2000-02-16.
