Mitigating Fugitive Dust Emissions from Construction Activities in Riyadh
The “Mitigating Fugitive Dust Emissions from Construction Activities in Riyadh” guideline establishes a mandatory regulatory framework to reduce particulate emissions, aiming to protect public health and sensitive areas such as schools and hospitals. The guideline mandates the implementation of strict preventive measures, including the use of dust suppressants, enforcing speed limits on unpaved roads, installing wheel-wash systems, equipping crushers with misting systems, and activating real-time air quality monitoring for high-risk projects. These efforts aim to standardize dust management practices across the capital, minimizing environmental impacts while ensuring water conservation.
