Overview

A March 2005 report prepared by Cheminfo Services Inc. for Environment Canada's Transboundary Issues Branch, with the Construction and Demolition Multi-stakeholder Working Group. The City of Hamilton links it from its dust mitigation page as the source its construction and demolition dust handbook was adapted from. It describes technologies and work practices for cutting particulate and VOC emissions: environmental management plans, water and chemical dust suppressants, site preparation, storage piles, trackout control, demolition and deconstruction, diesel engines, asphalt and coatings, and monitoring and record-keeping.
