SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Many fumes and dusts are combustible and operations generating or handling fumes and dusts can
require special mitigation efforts to minimize fire and explosion risks. Standards such as NFPA 654
can provide guidance for those who generate and handle these types of dusts. See the Donaldson
Dust Collectors and Combustible Dust Strategies brochure.
Many fumes and dusts may also have identified adverse health impacts, and special mitigation
strategies may be required to limit occupational exposure below levels OSHA or other health
organizations have established for these materials.

LEGISLATION (OTHER FEDERAL AND LOCAL LEGISLATION MAY APPLY)

US EPA

Particulate Matter (PM):

o

PM 2.5 = 15 g/m3 (annual), and 35 g/m3 (24-hour)

PM 10 = 150 g/m3 (24-hour)

OSHA REGULATIONS

29 CFR 1910.1000 - Air Contaminants

NOTE: Twenty-five states, Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands have OSHAapproved State Plans and have adopted their own standards and enforcement
policies. For the most part, these States adopt standards that are identical to
Federal OSHA. However, some States have adopted different standards
applicable to this industry or may have different enforcement policies.
