Fugitive dust

Fugitive dust refers to tiny particles that become airborne from surfaces like roads, construction sites, or open lands, typically due to wind, vehicle movement, or human activity. These dust particles can spread into the air, potentially impacting air quality and health, especially for sensitive groups. Managing fugitive dust involves practices such as watering surfaces, using vegetation, or applying dust suppressants to minimize airborne particles. Controlling fugitive dust is important for environmental protection, public health, and compliance with regulations.
