Preventive Measures against Dust Disease
1. Aspirated dust easy stick to the Bronchi and Lungs:
We usually breathe much "powder particle" that is "dust" into the lungs under normal living conditions.
Aspirated dust sticks to the texture of respiration system such as, the nose - the bronchi - the fine bronchi - the
alveoli.
A graph attached hereunder shows the relation of composure ratio and dust particle size. This graph is showing
that the relatively large dust particle stick to the nose and the bronchi but the dust particle become smaller, it easy
to stick to the alveoli.
25/30
2. 1~ 5 micrometer size dust easy to concentrate to the Alveoli
The dust sticks to the bronchi and/or the alveoli does not detain continuously. Sketch attached hereunder shows
which organ of respiration system can remove hour big size dust. Stuck dust to the bronchi removes out by fine
cilia of the bronchi. Until the bronchi, more than 5 micrometer size dust can be removed out. Less than 1
micrometer size dust is also known to remove out by breathing out or immune defense system.
In the case of much concentration of dust at the Alveoli, it usually observe that the respiratory function become
less. For example, even walking, it creates shortness of breath. If this symptom becomes heavy, then
complications can be easy to occur such as pneumonia in case of catch a cold only.

4. To Prevent Dust Disease
Dust protection mask distribute to all workers who work inside shaft. The mask is inevitably
necessary for the works inside shaft, such as shaft excavation, mucking, chipping and
shotcrete. If you use the mask correctly you can prevent disease caused by the various dust inside
shaft.
