Machining is necessary to shape parts but it is also an important
source of pollution (such as dust and aerosols) and this
constitutes hazards for machine-tools operators. The emission
of dust and the overall shop floor air quality are of great concern
when shaping dusty materials such as granite as this process
generates harmful dusts containing silica. In recent times, the
occupational health and safety regulations have become more
severe. To quickly comply with new regulations, engineers and
researchers must help industries in developing strategies to limit
ultrafine particle emission when polishing granite as a function of
machining conditions and parameters. The machining conditions
studied include the tool paths, the lubrication and its applications
modes. The main goal is to determine machining conditions
leading to less dust emission while maintaining acceptable part
quality and productivity.
