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 estab-
lished 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
Nui-
sance
Dust. However, a number of
states
have incorporated the OSHA
PEL ’ s
from the 1989
standard
in their
state
plans.
