• Description:
  The purpose of this research study was to: 1) evaluate respirable dust and quartz exposure during asphalt milling with a typical cold-planer, heavy equipment utility. 2) determine if a gravity-fed water supply system, primarily used to extend grinder lifetime, is an effective means of reducing exposure for the operator. 3) assess the magnitude of exposure variation attributed to outdoor wind conditions.
