Whitepaper: A Guide to Effective Dust Control

Many construction activities create hazardous dust, and exposure to any dust in excessive amounts can create respiratory problems. Dust particles come in a range of sizes, but smaller dust particles, known as respirable dust, is so fine that it can settle deep within the lungs. This can then cause serious health problems, such as lung cancer, COPD, asbestosis, silicosis and asthma. Unfortunately, these diseases may only become evident after a long period of time and when it is too late for treatment to have any effect. Therefore, an effective dust control system on site is vital to protect your health, the health of others on site, and of those nearby.
