The use of stockpiling material has been growing at an unprecedented rate as raw materials are in increasingly great demand due to the explosion of infrastructure felt throughout the world today. However, some of the materials in question have negative environmentally related effects, those of which can be felt day in and day out by the surrounding communities that house these enormous stockpiles and storage sites. Materials such as salt, sulfur, sand and coal are all utilized in stockpiling practices. When found in large doses these substances can have detrimental effects in areas that they are foreign to. The dust makes its way into the soil, and eventually contaminates surface and ground water, as well as vegetation wildlife and aquatic life. The size of stockpiles, whether environmentally friendly substances or not, can be greatly reduced due to the effects of wind and/or water erosion. Dust Stop can put an end to this reduction by sealing off the surface of the stockpile, eliminating any erosion that may occur.
Dust Stop can be applied to effectively eliminate both of the previously mentioned problems. By coating the stockpile with a layer of Dust Stop, using a high-pressure sprayer, both problems are eradicated in a 100% environmentally friendly and sustainable manner. By forming a blanket on the surface of the stockpile, no suspended particulate matter is released, ensuring that the environment and the health of the individuals around the stockpile are not effected. This will also guarantee that no loss of material, even in the form of PM 2.5 or PM 10 particles will be incurred due to wind or water erosion. In the long run, this will help reduce the amount of raw materials wasted as a result of losses due to stockpiling.
