Description
Zahra Ordudari's team compared dust risk methods in 2026 across wood, textile, food, and livestock workplaces, where dust threatens lungs and long-term health. Three assessment approaches were applied side by side, with Monte Carlo simulation modeling cancer and non-cancer risks. Food plants showed the highest dust levels and textiles the lowest, yet both sectors exceeded safe limits.
Methods disagreed on ranking: one called textile risk very high and wood negligible, another called all sectors intolerable, while U.S. EPA modeling found adverse effects everywhere with notable cancer risk in wood, food, and livestock. Risk scores rose with dust concentration overall. Workplace safety teams get a caution against trusting one method alone, plus a clear call for dust controls.
