Track 3: Environmental Stewardship

343 health point of view creates a risk of respiratory diseases, and on the other hand, unorganized dust emissions often lead to exceeding the permissible norms. The management of TSF is complicated by the decrease in water resources in recent years. Since water is usually used as a method of dust suppression. This leads to the need to search for alternative sources that provide effective dust suppression with minimal water consumption, as well as environmentally effective and sustainable solutions in the face of changing climate conditions. MATERIALS AND METHODS This report presents a study with innovative reagents and a comparison with an accessible material, such as lime milk, applied at different concentrations and conditions (dry terrain, rainfall, high humidity), in order to evaluate their effectiveness in limiting dust emissions. Although lime milk is an affordable product, the effect of its use is short-lived and associated with numerous limitations such as a short period of action, high consumption of water and materials (up to 14 L/m²), ineffectiveness in rainfall and high humidity, and the need for frequent application..
