Geomembranes assist in controlling dust emissions from mining activities by providing a durable cover over exposed surfaces, such as tailings piles and waste storage areas. By sealing off these surfaces, geomembranes prevent the dispersion of fine particles into the air, reducing dust generation and airborne pollution.
In addition, geomembranes help stabilize the underlying material, minimizing erosion and surface disturbance, which can contribute to dust production. Furthermore, by controlling moisture content within the covered areas, geomembranes help suppress dust by reducing the potential for dust particles to become airborne.
