The exposure of workers to respirable dust is common in every country of the world: mining, construction, manufacturing, oil and gas, and general industry. Real-time monitors have become increasingly popular for the assessment of this exposure. The NIOSH Center for Direct Reading and Sensor Technologies has launched a new initiative called Right Sensors Used Right. This session will focus on 1) how selection of the right sensor is essential to enable hazard-informed and exposure-informed hazard assessments, 2) the correct use of the respirable dust monitors, 3) a field study on the use of real-time dust monitors, and 4) the potential and limitation of very low-cost dust sensors to be used as real-time respirable dust monitors.
