Expert Dust and Air Quality Consultancy Services

 Dust, a ubiquitous environmental phenomenon, arises from numerous natural and human activities spanning a wide spectrum of scales. To grasp the concept of dust within an environmental framework, we use the Source-Pathway-Receptor model:

Source: This aspect hinges on the question of whether dust is actively generated. It’s the initial trigger, the point of origin for dust in the environment.

Pathway: The next consideration revolves around the existence of a pathway through which dust can traverse the environment (most commonly by air movement). This pathway defines the journey of dust particles from their source to potential receptors.

Receptor: The third component involves identifying entities, whether they are living organisms or ecosystems, that could be impacted by dust. Receptors represent the targets of dust-related consequences.

The interplay of these three components—source, pathway, and receptor—is crucial for dust impacts to occur. If any one of these elements is absent, the potential for dust-related effects diminishes. Understanding this model provides a foundation for effective dust management and environmental protection.
