This site helps small shop workers understand the risks from fine dust exposure and how to effectively protect themselves and their families from airborne dust hazards. Fine dust is so extensively studied that researchers call it PM short for particle material. A Google search on PM Health Risks shows over 40 million references as to how unhealthy fine dust is. Add in the chemicals found in and on wood, and woodworking can be deadly if you don't protect yourself. This site shares how to measure your risks and then provide appropriate protections. It shares how to modify your tool hoods, design and install ducting, pick the right sized blower, pick the right separator (trashcan separator, cyclone or drop box), and how to pick the correct shop vacuum, dust collector or cyclone system.
