Abstract:

The study utilized field data and comprehensive analysis to examine the effectiveness of various dust suppressants. This included monitoring dust suppressant application, surfacing aggregate type, traffic, weather, roadway performance, and fugitive dust emissions to provide a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of the dust suppression efforts paid for with CMAQ funds. Because of the performance difference between unpaved roads in drier and wetter climates, the results from this study are most applicable to the interior western United States and other dry climates throughout the world. The methodologies developed during this study may be applied to assess the effectiveness of any dust control efforts, regardless of differences in precipitation.
