Preliminary assessment of an economical fugitive road dust sampler for the collection of bulk samples for geochemical analysis.
Fugitive road dust collection for chemical analysis and interpretation has been limited by the quantity and representativeness of samples. Traditional methods of fugitive dust collection generally focus on point-collections that limit data interpretation to a small area or require the investigator to make gross assumptions about the origin of the sample collected. These collection methods often...
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...
متن کاملMicrobiologically-Induced Soil Stabilization: Application of Sporosarcina pasteurii for Fugitive Dust Control
In this study, we have introduced a biological dust control technique utilizing a naturally occurring soil microorganism, Sporosarcina pasteurii, which is capable of inducing calcium carbonate precipitation in the environment. To evaluate the dust suppressive potential of this microbial calcite, S. pasteurii was suspended in medium and applied to locally available sand. The treated soil samples...
متن کاملImpact of Fugitive Dust Emission from Bauxite Crushing Industry on Soil Contamination (Case Study: Jajarm Alumina Factory)
Introduction: The origination of dust is often due to the wind erosion process. However dust emissions are sometimes the result of industrial activity during the production process, which is called industrial dust. One of these industries is rock crushing whose raw material is transferred from the mines to the factory. During the process of crushing, smaller pieces are eventually converted. The...
متن کاملCharacterization and implication of potential fugitive dust sources in the Paso del Norte region.
A series of analyses were performed to provide chemical signatures for surface soils and to evaluate potential sources of fugitive dust in the Paso del Norte (PdN) region. Eighteen sites were selected for soil sampling based on an assessment of the soil types in the region and the main upwind source areas with a potential for wind erosion. Analyses of the soil samples provided chemical 'fingerp...
