Abstract
The content of harmful substances in the air is an important parameter of the working conditions of foundry workers. Due to the peculiarities of the technology, there are many sources of intense dust emission in the foundry. The distribution of dust concentrations in the atmosphere of the workshops was determined from the equation of the dust balance in the workshop room. The possibility of obtaining by calculation an objective picture of the distribution of dust in various sections of foundries is shown. Data from various studies were used to determine the density and dust at various sites of foundries. The results of the theoretical calculations show that in foundries, dust capture is an effective means of reducing the dustiness of the air of working areas.
