3 Therefore, before a precise determination
4 can be made regarding dust levels generated by
5 specific deflashing and mixing operations, improved
6 engineering control must be installed in the
7 collectors.
8 As in our previous study in 1967, we
9 recommend that the air from the collectors be
10 discharged directly to the outside of the building.
11 Referring to the Michigan Department of
12 Public Health, Division of Occupational Health
13 administrative code for occupational air contaminants
14 and physical agents establishes specific rules with
15 regard to the recirculation of the contaminated air
16 from dust collectors.
17 The code has this requirement in paragraphs
18 2 and 3. The director may allow the recirculation of
19 air containing a contaminant whose MAC is less than
20 1,000 parts per million, 15 milligrams per cubic meter
21 or 50 million particles per cubic foot if the toxicity
