Use of electron microscopy to determine presence of coal dust in a neighborhood bordering an open-air coal terminal in Curtis Bay, Baltimore, Maryland, USA
These findings are consistent with longstanding community concerns and lived experiences regarding the presence of coal dust in Curtis Bay, which neighbors a major open-air coal terminal. This approach has potential for other communities neighboring coal terminals to assess similar concerns with residential coal dust exposure.
