The process by which dust becomes airborne is referred to as "dust emission. "For this to happen, energy is required to overcome the gravitational and cohesive forces binding dust particles to the surface. Potential dust emission that may be associated with mineral workings can be caused by : mechanical handling operations... ;haulage... ;blasting; ancillary "manufacturing" operation within quarries... 2, record 1, English, - dust%20emission
