What is Control of Fines and Dust in Blasting about?

This document summarizes research on fines and dust generation during rock fragmentation by blasting. It discusses how fines can originate from both the crushed zone near blast holes as well as other factors like burden. Small scale blasting tests showed fines generation depends on burden. Appropriate blast design can reduce fines and dust while dispersion can be limited through containment. The challenges of measuring dust plumes and providing practical dust control methods are also covered.
