Abstract
On the ground of wharf and a station where coal is piled up, the sources polluting the atmosphere are mainly the raised coal dust. According to the principle of mechanics, with the consideration of the gravities of coal dust particles and liquid droplets, coal dust size and humidity, under the condition of force balance when the coal dust was raised, the authors obtained a theoretical formula for the threshold velocity of coal dust with humidity. Finally, the theoretical values from the formula gave a good agreement with the experimental data from some wind tunnels.
