What is Fugitive Dust?
The term fugitive dust refers to particulate that is lifted into the air either by man-made or natural activities in large open areas.
Fugitive dust exposure levels require continuous, real-time monitoring at mine sites because conditions can change quickly as new sections are opened and dirt moving operations are in place.
One of those hazardous pollutants identified in this overarching document was particulate matter (PM). Fugitive dust is not a direct part of the NAAQS, however these emissions do contribute heavily to the overall particulate measurement and the exposure limits. Emissions are usually controlled by the local regulatory authority such as state EPA or Department of Environmental Quality Engineering, air quality management districts, air resource boards or special program agencies.
Fugitive dust is typically the result from mining activities such as the physical movement of soil, vehicles traveling over unpaved surfaces, heavy equipment operation, blasting, and wind, which can erode mine tailings piles to create potentially contaminated fugitive dust. Equipment moving on unpaved roads or parched soil, and the storage and movement of aggregate piles also produce fugitive dust, more commonly known as dust bowl conditions. This release into the atmosphere does not happen in a controlled manner nor does it necessarily originate from a known source point. Particulate resulting from combustion (motor vehicles and other internal combustion engines) and transformation operations such as soldering, brazing or welding are typically excluded from the general definition of fugitive dust.
Ruico have formulated a series of polymer resin for dust control using, like styrene acrylic, PVA etc. For more details, please contact:
