When respirable coal mine dust is to be analysed in the same sample mixed cellulose ester membrane filters should not be used because of their high weight variability A preweighed PVC filter should be used and a final weight should be taken before ashing when Method 7602 is used to analyse crystalline silica in coal mine dust

outside the mining area for placement and storage In the Midwest where the surface topography and coal seams are generally flat it is common to employ area strip mining in which the fragmented overburden is placed directly by large draglines in the space created where coal has been mined In some situations in the eastern United States a coal seam occurring near the top of mountains is
