1. Outdoor sources: Dust can enter the workplace from outside through open doors and windows, ventilation systems, and on the clothing and shoes of workers.
2. Indoor sources: Dust can be generated within the workplace from activities such as cutting, grinding, sanding, drilling, sweeping, and handling of materials.
3. Construction activities: Construction and renovation activities can generate large amounts of dust from activities such as demolition, concrete cutting, and drywall sanding.
4. Manufacturing processes: Manufacturing processes such as metalworking, woodworking, and food processing can generate dust from materials such as metal, wood, and flour.
5. Agricultural activities: Agricultural activities such as farming, harvesting, and processing of crops can generate dust from soil, plant material, and pesticides.
6. Office activities: Even office environments can have sources of dust, such as photocopiers, printers, and HVAC systems.
7. Poor housekeeping: Poor housekeeping practices can lead to the accumulation of dust in the workplace, increasing the risk of exposure to workers.
