• Description:
  The purpose of this paper is to discuss the requirements of law with respect to nonemergency respirator use, the need for respirators in various situations that occur in coal mining, and the results of a study of the use or nonuse of respirators, together with some comments on the attitudes toward respirators and the reasons why they are or are not used. Based on this information, the solutions for some of these problems will be offered. These include the development of respirators which will meet the needs and the requirements of law and the development of programs, standards, and regulations which will provide for and require their use.
