Fugitive Dust Emissions

Fugitive dust emissions refer to tiny particles of dust that become airborne unintentionally from activities like construction, mining, farming, or transportation. These particles can linger in the air, contributing to air pollution and affecting health, especially for those with respiratory issues. Unlike emissions from smokestacks or industrial exhausts, fugitive dust sources are often dispersed across large areas and are not captured by filtering systems. Managing these emissions involves techniques like watering roads, covering materials, or using barriers to prevent dust from spreading into the air.
