Abstract: A Continuous Personal Dust Monitors (CPDM) determines the concentration of respirable dust in coal mines. A CPDM must be designed and constructed for coal miners to wear and operate without impeding their ability to perform their work safely and effectively, and must be durable to perform reliably in normal working conditions of coal mines. Paperwork requirements imposed on applicants are related to the application process and CPDM testing procedures.
