Fugitive Dust Suppression in Unpaved Roads: State of the Art Research Review
نویسندگان
چکیده
Fugitive dust is a serious threat to unpaved road users from safety and health point of view. Dust suppressing materials or suppressants are often employed lower the fugitive dust. Currently, many commercially available being developed for various applications. The performance these depends on their physical chemical properties, application frequency rates, soil type, wind speed, atmospheric conditions, etc. This article presents comprehensive review in-development suppression mechanisms. Specifically, that either through hygroscopicity (ability absorb moisture) and/or agglomeration cement particles) reviewed. literature findings, recommendations, limitations pertaining roads discussed at end review.

Characteristics of Fugitive Dust Generated from Unpaved Mine Haulage Roads
Fugitive dust is generated along unpaved mine roads from intermitlent equipment traffic. Typically. the majority of such traffic consists of trucks hauling either mine product or waste from the surface mine pit andlor the processing plant. Fugitive dust generated along these unpaved mine roads includes particles of all sizes which become airborne. The potential hazards include the deleterious e...
متن کاملNumerical validation of a near-field fugitive dust model for vehicles moving on unpaved surfaces
This paper presents a numerical model for evaluating fugitive dust emission and transport at near-field induced by a moving vehicle. The dust emission model describes the quantity and location of emitted dust. The transport of the dust is captured by the Lagrangian particle tracking method, and turbulence dispersion of particles is modeled stochastically. The presented model is validated ∗corre...
متن کاملLong-Term Efficiencies of Dust Suppressants to Reduce PM10 Emissions from Unpaved Roads.
A 14-month study was undertaken to assess the long-term efficiencies of four dust suppressants (i.e., biocatalyst stabilizer, polymer emulsion, petroleum emulsion with polymer, and nonhazardous crude-oil-containing materials) to reduce the emission of PM10 from public unpaved roads. PM10 emission rates were calculated for each test section and for an untreated section for comparison purposes. E...
متن کاملFugitive Dust Generation in the Laboratory
Fugitive dust (dust composed of natural materials, suspended into the air by human activities) is an air quality concern in many agricultural regions of the United States. Fugitive dust is generated almost everywhere by vehicles traveling on unpaved or sediment-covered roads and at construction and waste management sites (Cowherd et al., 1988). In the Southern High Plains of Texas and the Colum...
