In this work, we will discuss the study the dispersed composition stone dust such industrial objects as deposits migmatites, granites, marbleized limestone and ophiocalcites. The dust-like fraction the listed rocks is considered and evaluated as a micro-sized and nanosized component their structure formation. The main regularities of the formation nano- and microdust particles have been determined by the method membrane filtration. The most promising feature membrane filtration for the separation of professional (stone) dust mining quarries has been developed, which must be taken into account when developing a technology for processing raw materials, when separating particles into fractions for further use in the production the final product, when standardizing and qualitatively assessing the effect a nanosized fraction on the human body and environment. As a result the experiments carried out, the dispersed composition the rocks extracted at the quarries raw materials in the Irkutsk region was analyzed. The percentage particles with dimensions from 0.05 to 10 microns in the studied samples of professional dust was determined. The presence nanosized particles in them was confirmed, which, in turn, are the carrier a negative component, which can be considered from the point view industrial safety and health protection miners as a factor in the development such occupational diseases.
