Negative impact of dust

People's Health

• Large particles are major eye and skin irritants, including causing conjunctivitis and increasing the susceptibility to ocular infection.
• Smaller inhalable particles, those under PM10, get trapped in the nose, mouth and upper respiratory tract, leading to conditions like asthma, tracheitis, pneumonia, allergic rhinitis and silicosis.
• The finest particles, known as PM2.5 (less than 2.5 micrometers in diameter), get deep into the lungs and enter the bloodstream. Here, they can affect all internal organs and lead to cardiovascular disorders.
• Particle sizes over 10 micrometers in size (PM10) can stay in the air for hours, particulate matter under 2.5 micrometers (PM2.5) can stay in the air for more than 10 days.

Farmers’ Fields

• Studies have suggested that a car driving down one mile of road, once a day for one year, can lead to one ton of dust. 100 cars produce 100 tons per mile, per year! This dust can coat the leaves of agricultural crops, leading to a reduction in photosynthesis and reduced crop yields, lending to the need for an effective dust suppressant.
