Roads are the largest source of dust contamination in existence today. This is a very serious situation that the world must address immediately and it must be sustainably rectified for the benefit of all living things that inhabit this fragile planet. The amount of suspended particulate matter that is derived solely from roads is increasing at an exponential rate due to the production of new roads and the subsequent repeated use of them. Every time a vehicle travels down a road it stirs up enormous quantities of dust and hazardous dust suppressants leaving huge dust clouds in their wake. These dust clouds full of toxic road contaminants do not settle at the same spot in which they originated from. Rather, the dust particles get caught up in the wind and are dispersed randomly throughout the air. This dust then makes its way back down to the earth contaminating the soil, water and plant life and has numerous adverse effects on the health of humans, vegetation and wildlife. Everyone must make a concerted effort to be a part of this urgent change and play whatever role possible to ensure that toxic materials are never used again. Future generations depend on this happening and only the present generation can make that a reality.
Dust from roads can contain very fine particles known as PM 10 and PM 2.5. Of greatest concern are the PM 2.5 particles that make up part of a dust cloud. PM 2.5 refers to particulate matter less than 2.5 microns in size. PM 10 particles are less than 10 microns. Ten microns equals about 1/7th the diameter of a human hair.
A common misconception relating to roads as a source of dust contamination is that the only roads that produce harmful dust are unpaved roads. This is false. Paved and unpaved roads are a source of harmful dust that originates from numerous car and truck parts. The wear and tear on a vehicle's parts through everyday use produces harmful dust emanating from numerous areas of the vehicle. Harmful tail pipe emissions, tire-wear dust, brake-lining dust and engine-wear dust as well as whatever contaminant is present on the undercarriage are all sources of dust that are produced from cars alone. Dust Stop is the perfect solution to eliminate this source of dust by coating the surface of the road and not allowing any of these particles to become airborne. Dust Stop will also inhibit the fine PM 2.5 and PM 10 particles from being transformed into the suspended particulate matter that pollutes the environment in a number of ways. However, EarthZyme can be used to permanently stabilize any road surface and will completely control the effects of dust contamination as well. The primary cause of roads as a major source of dust throughout the world is man alone and the devastating effect that this has on mankind as well as on all the other forms of earth habitation has now reached epidemic proportions. It is the decisions of man alone that can change this but time is not in our favor, it must be accomplished now.
