Abstract: 

The results of the studies of working area air in mining operations on the content of micro and nanoparticles are presented. In eight of the nine workplaces the excess is detected to the control of fine dust fraction PM 10 content from 4 to 13 times, fractions RM 4,0 and PM 2,5 from 4 to 9 times, fraction RM 1,0 from 3.5 to 9.5 times, wherein the fine fraction RM 1,0 is from 53 to 85 %. During the workplace study a significant excess of nanoparticles is found directly during the production process in relation to the control from 5 to 68 times.
