Road dust is a common problem that poses a complex task with wide-ranging effects. Driving on paved surfaces stirs up small particles, which creates a complicated web of environmental issues. The airborne dust not only damages the surrounding ecosystems and soil composition, but it also poses a threat to air quality, exacerbating respiratory problems and lowering environmental health in general.

2. INTRODUCTION
Road dust is a common problem that poses a
complex task with wide-ranging effects.
Driving on paved surfaces stirs up small
particles, which creates a complicated web of
environmental issues. The airborne dust not
only damages the surrounding ecosystems
and soil composition, but it also poses a
threat to air quality, exacerbating respiratory
problems and lowering environmental health
in general.

3. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
OF ROAD DUST:
Fine particles in road dust contribute to air pollution.
Aggravates respiratory conditions in humans and wildlife.
Carries contaminants from vehicle exhaust and road
surfaces.
Accumulation of road dust on plants and soil causes
ecological disturbances.
Pollutants alter soil composition, impacting plant growth.
Affects the entire food chain, from insects to larger animals.
Degradation of Air Quality
Ecosystem Disruption

4. Road dust enters bodies of water through wind or rain.
Dust sedimentation introduces contaminants, endangering
aquatic life.
Includes hydrocarbons and heavy metals, degrading water quality.
Dust particles with dark colors absorb sunlight, causing localized
warming.
Radiative forcing affects microclimates and leads to temperature
changes.
Physical harm to infrastructure and reduced lifespan.
Dust collection accelerates deterioration.
Lowers the visual appeal of cities, impacting the standard of living.
Water Contamination
Climate Impacts
Infrastructure and Aesthetic Damage

5. INNOVATIVE
TECHNOLOGIES FOR
ROAD DUST CONTROL:
Intelligent technology releases dust
suppressants in response to environmental
changes.
Some surfaces repel dust, reducing
collection and easing cleaning.
Modern formulations capture and prevent
dust particles from becoming airborne.
Eco-friendly ingredients contribute to
sustainable dust control.
Smart Road Surfaces
Usage of Dust Suppressants and Binders

6. Planting vegetation alongside roadways as an
organic dust reduction method.
Certain plant species act as a green barrier,
absorbing and holding dust particles.
Real-time data collection on dust levels through air
quality monitoring.
Automated responses based on pollution levels,
such as dust suppressant release or traffic flow
modifications.
Proactive management enhances the effectiveness
of dust control methods.
