Experiments were performed to suppress dust generation in field soils using starch (a biodegradable polymer), polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) with surfactant properties, and chitosan as a granulation stabiliz
Currently, the control of dust movement at construction sites remains inadequate, as it is often impractical to halt or clean large construction vehicles during operations. Furthermore, dust emissions from extensive soil and material stockpiles continue to present significant challenges. This study aims to develop an advanced dust suppression system designed to minimize airborne dust dispersion and protect surrounding environments from particulate intrusion at large-scale construction sites. Additionally, the study seeks to optimize on-site application conditions to improve particle clustering efficiency and to assess the associated application costs for enhanced field feasibility and economic performance.
