The
image on the left shows a section of disconnected duct (see arrows). The duct served a
local exhaust hood for a transfer point between conveyor belts. This makes this material
transfer operation an uncontrolled point source of silica containing dust. |

This
images show an abandoned exhaust duct. Abandoned ducts may not even be capped. Abandoned
ducts may indicate uncontrolled emission sources, exhaust air undercapacity and exhaust
system leakage problems. |
