Simple Water Sprays: The most basic form of dust suppressant. Water is sprayed onto dusty surfaces, and the dust particles adhere to the water droplets and settle due to increased weight. This is commonly used in construction sites, open-pit mines, and on unpaved roads.
Polymer-Based Water Additives: Polymers like polyacrylamide (PAM) can be added to water. They increase the viscosity and surface tension of water, allowing it to better capture and bind dust particles. These are often used in areas with fine dust particles that are difficult to suppress with pure water.
