exposure risk to generated nail dust particles

[Sony SO]

Dear All,

To minimize exposure risk to generated nail dust particles related to use of podiatry drills, manufacturers of foot care units- nail dust extractors would provide two types of drill methods (1) Podiatry spray drills [spray drills emit a fine mist of water]; (2) dust extraction drills [same as local exhaust ventilation system].

My raised question is – which method is more effective for minimizing exposure risk to generated nail dust particles.

Yours faithfully,
