EFFECTIVENESS AND ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT OF ROAD DUST SUPPRESSANTS

The report describes a research project conducted at Colorado State University to evaluate the effectiveness and environmental impact of road dust suppressants. The objectives of the study were to 1) develop a device that would provide a standard, quantitative and precise method of measuring dust from unpaved road surface, 2) evaluate the relative effectiveness of the different dust suppressants in common use, and 3) assess the environmental impact in terms of possible water quality effects resulting from the use of the different dust suppressants.
