Abstract
Construction activities have the potential to generate a substantial amount of air pollution. In the past 30 years pollution in construction industry has acknowledged more consideration in the industry. Dust and emissions from destruction and construction activities can worsen the quality of air which can harm to health and impact upon life quality. Particulate matter PM10 and PM2.5(less than10mm, 2.5mm in Ф) are now recognized as significant causes of pollution and they can be carried from sites even in light winds. India is home to 13 of the 20 cities with the maximum levels of particulate air pollution worldwide, according to 2012 statement by the World Health Organization. This paper provides an overview of control of dust emissions by considering the direction and dispersion of particulate emissions based on wind speed. Indian Meteorological Data (IMD) provides a details regarding wind speed for every location which can be taken into account. It is necessary to maintain the air quality according to Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
