In 1992, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit Court overturned OSHA’s 1989 Air Contaminants Rule, which included specific PEL’s for wood dust established by OSHA at that time. Wood dust is now officially regulated as an organic dust in a category known as “Particulates Not Otherwise Regulated” (PNOR), or Nuisance Dust. However, a number of states have incorporated the OSHA PEL’s from the 1989 standard in their state plans.
