DOL/MSHA RIN: 1219-AA48 Publication ID: Spring 2000 
Title: Air Quality, Chemical Substances, and Respiratory Protection Standards 
Abstract: Our current regulations for exposure to hazardous airborne contaminants are over 25 years old. They do not fully protect today's miners, who are potentially exposed to an array of toxic chemicals, and other hazards. Examples of these include lead, cyanide, arsenic benzene, asbestos and other well-documented hazards. We will propose provisions of the air quality rule in phases based on our assessment of priority needs.
