New Delhi, Jan 12 (PTI) The consultancy arm of state-owned CIL Central Mine Planning and Design Institute Ltd has invented a system and method to control generation and movement of fugitive dust and achieved the patent for the same.
Fugitive dust is a form of particulate matter that contributes to air pollution that is generated from various sources which are exposed to air and not discharged into the atmosphere through a confined flow stream.
This system can be used in mines, thermal power plants, railway sidings, ports, construction sites wherein coal or other minerals/fugitive materials are stored under open sky. Apart from reducing the dust generation from open sources, it will also provide noise attenuation.
