Particle, or dust, emissions from open cut coal mining have been the subject of significant investigation over a number of years. Previous ACARP Projects investigated the issues surrounding particle emissions from coal mining in the Hunter Valley (Holmes Air Sciences 1999; Richardson 1999; Bridgman et al. 2002; Richardson 2002). The most recent of these, ACARP Project C13036 (Nelson et al. 2007), investigated the use of optical samplers and used meteorological data to provide information on the likely origin of particles observed in the PM10 and PM2.5 size components. However, with the increasing foruc on the human health impacts of atmospheric fine particles, and the suggestion that the finest particles may be more significant for human health impacts, the current project has focused on providing data on PM1 composittion for the Hunter Valley. |
