ESC Dust Control

01/28/26

“Why is it so important to implement dust control practices during construction erosion and sediment control?”

Construction operations disturb soil and unleash dust into the surrounding area. This dust can pose a major health problem for surrounding communities. Construction roads, movement access points, and other disturbed areas can create dust pollution. Construction operators can implement ESC Dust Control, such as vegetation buffer areas, soil stabilization, mulch, spray adhesives, barriers, windbreaks, and polymer additives. ESC Dust Control is an important aspect of preventing air and water pollution.
