Description: Respirable dust levels were monitored at two different stable complexes. Monitoring of air inside the stables and the outside incoming air was carried out at least once every hour for periods of one week. The respirable dust levels showed a large fluctuation of 0.4 to 305 counts/mL. The highest level recorded (305 counts/mL) was for a sampling point outside the horse stable which may have been a result of the stables proximity to a hay bam and a manure storage area. The high outside levels of respirable dust may have been due to the location of the sampling point in a position that recorded exhaust air rather than inlet air as it may have been located in the wake of the building. Diurnal variation covered a range of approximately 10 counts/mL to 95 counts/mL within a 24 hour period. Seasonal variation at the same location indicated a higher level during the winter period than during the summer period. High levels of respirable dust were recorded outside the mill building (maximum 148.8 counts/mL) which was part of one of the stable complexes and also outside the dwelling house (maximum 128.3 counts/mL) approximately 50 m from the main stable complex. Natural ventilation was the system of ventilation used in all of the stables monitored. The data recorded indicate that natural ventilation may not be relied upon to achieve the current recommended internal dust quality within the stable at all times or that the natural ventilation system used in the stables surveyed was not adequate.
