2. DPM is classified Group 1 carcinogenic to Humans
What is DPM?
DPM stands for Diesel Particulate Matter.
In underground mining it is a term used to reference the exhaust fumes that are expelled from vehicles while underground.
DPM is classified Group 1 carcinogenic to Humans
“After a week-long meeting of international experts, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC), which is part of the World Health Organization (WHO), today classified diesel engine exhaust as carcinogenic to humans (Group 1), based on sufficient evidence that exposure is associated with an increased risk for lung cancer.”

What does the MST DPM solution do?
The aim of DPM management is to limit exposure of personnel to potentially harmful diesel exhaust emissions to an agreed acceptable risk level.
This is achieved by:
Controlling the number of operating diesel vehicles in a ventilation district
Providing real-time visibility of DPM activity on the surface
Creating exceedence events and notifications
Generating reports for compliance auditing
