Dustfall measurement for environmental regulation and management

Objective

Many types of dust gauges are used in pollution surveys throughout the EU. No common design is accepted universally. When European standards are set for acceptable dust levels, a common dust fall system must be adopted as a standard methodology for capture and analysis of samples. The project will develop an improved dust gauge able to effectively collect all types of dust commonly experienced as a nuisance, as well as common deployment and analytical methods. A dust survey will be carried out to test the performance of the system against existing gauges, and provide new understanding of the problem of dust pollution within the EU.
