RESPIRABLE DUST ―> | |

Speaker Notes: Dust that is in the non-visible size range is also in the
respirable range, which means that it is the most hazardous. Most dusts
consist of particles of various sizes. Generally, dust particles smaller than
10 micrometers in size are considered respirable and can penetrate into the
lung cavity.
