To reduce exposure to dust particles, various strategies can be employed at both individual and community levels:
Engineering Controls: Implementing technologies such as air filtration systems and dust suppression methods in industrial settings can reduce emissions of dust particles. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Using masks and respirators can protect individuals from inhaling harmful dust particles, especially in occupational settings. Policy and Regulation: Enforcing stricter emissions standards and promoting cleaner technologies can mitigate the release of dust particles into the environment. Public Awareness and Education: Informing communities about the sources and health risks of dust exposure can encourage behavioral changes to minimize personal exposure.
