Occupational dust exposure can occur in various settings, including agriculture, forestry, and mining. Dust hazards include those that arise from handling grain[1] and cotton,[2] as well as from mining coal.[3]
Without proper safety precautions, dust exposure can lead to occupational lung diseases.
