The drilling capacity effected on dust mass concentration near the drill, but the impact vanished quickly with increasing distance.Īatos S (ed) (2003) Environmental effects in natural stone production life cycle (Luonnonkivituotannon elinkaaren aikaiset ympäristövaikutukset). Local dust sources, such as hauling, had a significant impact on dust mass concentrations even inside the quarry. The fine particles originated mainly from other, remote, sources and from the machinery used in the quarries. The fine particle mass concentrations were low during the measurements.
The background mass concentration was attained from 55 to 105 m at the downwind direction from the drill. The dust produced during drilling was mainly coarse-grained and it settled quickly. The impact of weather conditions, such as temperature and relative humidity, on dust concentration were inconsistent. The variation of concentration was high, and wind direction had a crucial effect on dust dispersion. The dust mass concentrations produced during drilling was measured at several distances with short time interval (5 s) sampling.
Dust mass concentration and concentration decrease was studied in two natural stone quarries in Finland.
