Imagine a quarry in full swing: trucks, excavators and other heavy vehicles are constantly moving around, raising huge amounts of dust into the air.\u00a0<\/p>

This dust can have harmful effects on those working on site and can also have negative consequences on the surrounding environment. In addition, dust can reduce visibility and increase the risk of accidents in the workplace.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One of the most popular ways of solving the problem of dust raised by means is certainly the use of\u00a0sprinklers<\/strong>those in the agricultural sector.<\/p>

The jets of water wet the ground, preventing the dust from rising.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

This methodology is certainly quick and inexpensive at first glance. In reality it hides (not too much) several pitfalls. First of all, agricultural sprinklers, having the objective of irrigating for crops, throw abundant amounts of water and this is good in agriculture because its purpose is to spray the cultivated fields abundantly so that the crops thrive. In a quarry, the situation is different and this is why we can say that the use of sprinklers is unsuitable and even counterproductive, in fact the large quantities of water thrown in will over-wet the soil, solving the dust problem, but generating a second collateral problem: the mud<\/strong>. The vehicles will no longer lift dust but will fill their tyres with mud and distribute it on the road surface once they leave the quarry.\u00a0<\/p>

In this regard, Article 15 of the Highway Code lists the prohibited acts for motorists. In particular, it details how it is forbidden to carrying or spreading mud<\/strong>\u00a0or debris even with the wheels of cars or motorbikes from accesses and branches. Otherwise, there is the administrative penalty of payment of a sum of between EUR 41 and EUR 168.<\/strong><\/p>

Let us also not forget that agricultural sprinklers consume large quantities of water<\/strong> and in the long term such a solution cannot be considered sustainable.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
