AU - Hersh, S.P. AU - Lee, W.W. AB - The particle size distribution (PSD) of airborne cotton dust has been measured in real time by light scattering while processing cotton in a model card room. The light sensing particle counter was coupled to a multichannel analyzer. With this instrumentation it is possible to identify components of the dust as originating from vegetable matter in the cotton, mineral matter from humidifiers, or background dust. The influence of various dust control techniques such as adding dust suppressing lubricants to the cotton or using an electrostatic precipitator as a second stage filter was also studied. For example, it has been found that dust in the size range from 2 to 4.5 μm is more efficiently removed (95-98%) by the use of a dust suppressant additive than is larger (∼90%) or smaller (∼70%) size dust.
