Further information
: 15: For the purposes of these limits, respirable dust and inhalable dust are those fractions of
airborne dust which will be collected when sampling is undertaken in accordance with the
methods described in MDHS14/3 General methods for sampling and gravimetric analysis of
respirable and inhalable dust
The COSHH definition of a substance hazardous to health includes dust of any kind when
present at a concentration in air equal to or greater than 10 mg.m-3 8-hour TWA of inhalable
dust or 4 mg.m-3 8-hour TWA of respirable dust. This means that any dust will be subject to
COSHH if people are exposed above these levels. Some dusts have been assigned specific
WELs and exposure to these must comply with the appropriate limit.
Most industrial dusts contain particles of a wide range of sizes. The behaviour, deposition and
fate of any particular particle after entry into the human respiratory system and the body
response that it elicits, depend on the nature and size of the particle. HSE distinguishes two
size fractions for limit-setting purposes termed 'inhalable' and 'respirable'.
Inhalable dust approximates to the fraction of airborne material that enters the nose and mouth
during breathing and is therefore available for deposition in the respiratory tract. Respirable
dust approximates to the fraction that penetrates to the gas exchange region of the lung. Fuller
definitions and explanatory material are given in MDHS14/3.
Where dusts contain components that have their own assigned WEL, all the relevant limits
should be complied with.
Where no specific short-term exposure limit is listed, a figure three times the long-term
exposure should be used
