[Main Problems and Refined Solutions of Urban Fugitive Dust Pollution in China]

Fugitive dust poses an important contribution to urban air particulate matter in China. To further improve the level of dust pollution prevention and control, the emission and contribution characteristics of urban fugitive dust were summarized; the main causes of dust pollution were analyzed; and the key links, key indicators, and main measures for prevention and control were clarified, so as to further improve the concept of "accurate dust control." Among all types of fugitive dust sources, road dust and construction dust were the main emission and contribution sources, among which road dust was more prominent. Production activities, vehicle disturbances, and wind erosion were the main dust-generating links of various dust sources. Silt loading was taken as the key control index for road dust prevention and control, whereas silt loading and bare soil (or material) areas were taken as the key control index for construction and other dust sources. Around the key indicators, three main ways to control the road dust and six main measures to control the construction and other dust sources were defined. In addition, some suggestions on the necessary supporting measures for dust control were put forward, so as to provide a comprehensive and beneficial reference for the practical application of dust control in Chinese cities.
