Abstract
IN connexion with the work of the Pneumoconiosis Research Unit into the cause of pneumoconiosis, attention has been devoted to the problem of identifying and estimating the quantity of respirable constituents of the dusts found dispersed in the air in collieries. It was considered that a technique based on the plastic behaviour of fine particles as observed by me1 and later confirmed by Bangham and Berkowitz2 might be evolved.
