MSHA sampling at Steele Hollow Mine shows respirable coal dust averaging 0.04 mg/m3 (100% compliant) across 16 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: 2016-06-25.
Noise
Most recent sample: 2016-03-30.
Source: MSHA respirable dust, quartz, and noise sampling records, updated weekly.
