Along　with　the　development　of　Chinese　industry,　dust　control　in　the　workplace　has　become　an　important　issue.　Dust　not　only　endangers　people＇s　lives　and　occupational　health,　but　also　pollutes　the　environment,　which　hinders　the　construction　and　progress　of　clean　and　green　production　in　China.　This　paper　collected　1186　Chinese　dust　control　literature　from　web　core　databases　for　a　review,　spanning　30　years.　A　bibliometric　approach　was　employed　to　analyze　and　discuss　the　content　of　the　dust　control　field,　covering　literature　releases,　authors,　institutions,　journal　source,　citations,　and　keyword　co-occurrence.　Furthermore,　Bayesian　networks(BNs)　predicted　future　hot　topics　(FHTs)　in　the　field.　The　results　showed　that　there　were　three　stages　of　literature　publication;　Nie　Wen　was　the　author　with　the　most　publications　in　the　domain　of　dust　control　in　China;　Shandong　University　of　Science　and　Technology　was　the　authoritative　institution　in　the　field;　Powder　technology　the　popular　journal　among　Chinese　dust　control　researchers.　According　to　the　keyword　co-occurrence　analysis,　the　area　mainly　contains　dust　types,　dust　control　methods,　dust　explosion,　numerical　simulation,　occupational　diseases　and　dust　pollution;　Finally,　environmental　pollution,　numerical　simulation　and　coal　mine　dust　control　were　considered　as　the　FHTs.　©　2022　Elsevier　B.V.
