Abstract
Intended to assist with the control of nuisance dust and fine particle emissions from construction and demolition activities. It gives a background on the effects of these emissions on health and the environment and also legislation related to regulating dust and fine particle emissions into the atmosphere. Control measures for dust and fine particles are given for specific processes and on pre-project planning, implementation and site management, together with checklists for use by the industry. Control measures given may be applied to construction-related activity of any size and type. The measures have not been tested for effectiveness and therefore must be used with care and, wherever possible, by personnel with the appropriate qualifications, training and experience.
