Development and Implementation of an Automated SEM-EDX Routine for Characterizing Respirable Coal Mine Dust

This thesis describes the development and use of a computer-automated microscopy routine for characterization of respirable dust particles from coal mines. Respirable dust in underground coal mining environments has long been known to pose an occupational health hazard for miners. Typically followin...
