Dust emissions can be understood as the release of the particles from bulk solids in consequence of handling. These emissions can cause an explosive atmosphere, lead to long-term sickness or environmental pollution. In order to reduce all this kind of possible hazards reliable prediction methods of dust emissions during the handling of bulk solids have to be developed. For this reason, common experimental methods, representing different handling scenarios, are modified and used for investigations.

The paper deals with the experimental methods, their modifications and the first results gained...
