chalk?
Numerous health issues may arise
from chalk dust that has been
dispersed around the classroom. Chalk
dust contains calcium carbonate and
calcium sulfate, which can irritate
mucous membranes, the skin, the
respiratory system, and the eyes. In
the worst case, exposure to chalk dust
regularly could cause harm to the liver
and lungs (Chi-Chi Lin, 2015).
This effect is still highly noticeable in
many schools today because of the
continued use of blackboards. The
consequences of ignoring this issue
could be harmful to one's health. As a
result, this action research may be
able to produce chalk from chalk dust,
assisting the school in reducing the
issue of dust and the associated health
risks.
