Abstract Letter to the editor in which the use of plastic filter doors is suggested to stop airborne dust at underground coal faces and stone drifts. These permeable doors, which could be installed at locations with the greatest cross-section to avoid pressure drop, would ensure the admission of cleaner air at the coal face. A pipework system on the side of the door would allow the filtering surface to be washed periodically and impregnated with a wetting agent.
