DustScan Professional Services

 

Did you know that we also carry out dust assessments for Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), prepare Dust Management Schemes (DMS) and Dust Action Plans (DAP) for industrial sites?

 

We have considerable experience in producing specialist consultancy reports for clients in the minerals industry, construction, and the landfill and waste transfer sectors. We undertake specialist projects for local authorities and for other consultancies.

 

We are also pleased to have been involved in the ProtoDust project, (best practice guidance for the management of quarry dust) which has been produced by AEA on behalf of the Minerals Industry Research Organisation (MIRO):

 

“The objective of the "Good Practice Guide: Control and Measurement of Dust and PM10 from the Extractive Industries" is to provide clear, concise and consistent methods for reducing dust, and measuring dust levels from mineral extraction, in the areas around minerals sites”.

DustScan can also interpret other forms of data and promotes the use of weather data in dust investigations. Dust levels can be interpreted with reference to wind speed and direction and rainfall measurements for comprehensive environmental site reporting. The use of electronically logging weather stations is recommended with any dust monitoring study and we can advise on suitable equipment and installation if required.
