Abstract
ABSTRACT DUST levels were measured by vertical elutriators in 12 cotton gins in the San Joaquin Valley of Califor-nia during the 1978 ginning season. Effects of cotton processing rate, gin location in the Valley, and harvest date on gin interior dust levels were tested. Processing rate increased interior dust levels by 0.03 mg/m3/bale/h. Valley location or harvest date had no effect on gin inter-ior dust levels. Interior dust level concentrations ranged from 0.38 to 1.41 mg/m3 and averaged 0.74 mg/m3. It was shown that data from vertical elutriators had a 50-percent chance of varying by 0.03 mg/m3 when repeated samples were taken at the same location.
