Large dust particles tend to be trapped in the nose and mouth when you breathe them in and can be readily breathed out or swallowed harmlessly. Smaller or fine dust particles are invisible. Fine dust particles are more likely to penetrate deeply into the lungs while ultrafine particles can be absorbed directly into the blood stream.

The type and size of a dust particle determines how toxic the dust is. However the possible harm the dust may cause to your health is mostly determined by the amount of dust present in the air and how long you have been exposed to it.

Where does dust come from?

For people with respiratory conditions like asthma, chronic obstructive airways disease COAD or emphysema even small increases in dust concentration can make their symptoms worse. Currently there is no hard evidence that dust causes asthma, however breathing in high concentrations of dust over many years is thought to reduce lung function in the long term and contribute to disorders like chronic bronchitis and heart and lung disorders. Industrial emissions may occasionally result in excessive dust in nearby communities. These may be harmful to health if poorly controlled.

Anyone who is exposed to high levels of dust may be affected — the longer you breathe in the dust, then the greater the chance that it will affect your health. Breathing low levels of household or urban dust does not cause health problems in most individuals. In contrast, people with existing respiratory and heart conditions, including smokers, are at greater risk of developing long-term health problems. Babies, young children and elderly people are also more likely to develop health problems from long term exposure to high levels of dust.

Anyone who regularly experiences shortness of breath or hayfever type symptoms from breathing dust should discuss these symptoms with their doctor. Australia controls dust levels in the air where people live through a range of measures. The DER monitors air quality, including dust, across the Perth metropolitan and major rural areas. The DER investigates all incidents where the standards are exceeded. The DER licences all industry and activities that emit pollutants into the environment.

Either the DER or the Environmental Protection Agency EPA can impose conditions on a company that restrict the amount of dust particles that their activities can emit into the air. Companies must monitor their emissions and routinely report the information back to DER. Other dust control measures include vegetation buffers areas of plants and trees that are often positioned between residential areas and industrial areas and between residential areas and major roads. These buffers help to dissipate dust and other pollutants and together with air quality standards are highly effective for reducing dust impacts on communities.

If you have a medical complaint you believe is related to dust, see your GP. Your GP should contact the health department if your medical complaint is related to environmental pollution. Neighbourhood concerns should be raised with your local council.

Most councils employ environmental health officers who can investigate local neighbourhood matters. This publication is provided for education and information purposes only.

Yes, the author, a former police officer, is interested in a level playing ground for all, protected by the law. But, in real-life, this is hardly achievable, especially in this part.

As the denouement shows later, Peter the scapegoat is saved from damnation by an unexpected luck. The plot begins on a lachrymal note, a foreboding of more anguish to come in this hard luck story: This is how we met Peter, the protagonist of the novel. Is this how all my talented effort for survival is gone down the drain? Obi, through a dubious court judgement, and he has been served a seven-day eviction notice. Worse still, he has been served another eviction notice by his landlord in an apartment he has been living for six years. It turns out to be a terrible mistake by Peter.

The business scheme is to get some quality gold to buy from whatever source and resell to gold merchants, but getting original gold is a herculean task due to the abundance of fake gold. After surviving a Ghanaian duo with fake gold for sell, out to dupe him and his partner of their money, Peter and Thomas fall into the trap of another coning friend, James; and this time, there is a third party, Mr.

Udi, who has been convinced to invest a huge sum of money, including borrowed sum, into the business, to complement their lean purse, for , dollars is required to buy the gold brought by James, which he claims to have been brought from South Africa. It appears the trio of Peter, Thomas and Udi are heading for new heights before Alhaji Dauda pronounces the gold fake. To be sure, they go visit a goldsmith, who returns the same verdict. Sadly, Peter is imprisoned.

Eventually, he is freed by the court. The fast paced narrative that is the hallmark of the genre is missing here, and the whodunit element is not stretched to the limit with a cliffhanger. The writer is too preachy that he forgets he is writing a fiction and not a text book. Again, the editors of the book deserve severe flogging, because the book is error-ridden from the beginning to the end.

The title of the book itself ought to have been Raising the Dust only.
