ANALYSIS OF DUST FROM COTTON FACTORIES AND ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN HEALTH

Abstract

The article analyzes the separation of harmful compounds in the air flow from various machines during the initial processing of cotton, for cleaning the dusty air released into the atmosphere, the air sucked from the dust-reducing machines and the dusty air from the pneumatic transport installations, and the ways of cleaning it from dust and impurities before releasing it into the atmosphere. The causes and ways of reducing the amount of dust released at all stages of the primary processing of cotton are fully explained, which can reduce the pollution of dust production buildings and atmospheric air, worsen the working conditions of workers and employees, and cause them to get sick with occupational diseases, especially silicosis.
