Abstract
Dust samples were collected inside high-capacity cotton gins with the personal, stationary personal, and the vertical elutriator cotton dust samplers. Dust particles collected on the filters were sized with a particle measurement computer system. Particle-distribution data revealed that gin dust contains a high percentage of dust particles larger than 20 micrometers in diameter.This publication has 3 references indexed in Scilit:
