Combatting Dust During Australia’s Dry Season: The Vital Role of Mobile Dust Suppression From Malcolm Thompson Pumps
As we enter the dry season, dust pollution becomes a pressing issue, particularly in Australia. Industries such as mining, construction, and civil works generate significant dust, affecting visibility and posing serious health risks, particularly respiratory issues for workers. Fortunately, mobile dust suppression systems offer a practical and effective solution.
At Malcolm Thompson Pumps, we provide customised dust suppression solutions for all effected industries, helping businesses improve air quality and comply with health and environmental regulations.
Why Dust Control Matters
The dry season exacerbates dust pollution due to limited rainfall and dry soil. Fine dust particles (PM10 and PM2.5) can be inhaled, leading to respiratory problems and other health issues. For industries like mining and construction, managing dust is crucial to maintaining worker safety and operational efficiency.

Mobile dust suppression systems, such as water cart trucks, are an effective way to control dust on worksites. Malcolm Thompson Pumps offers advanced solutions like the Stalker ISO Hydraulic Driven Series, designed specifically for water cart trucks.
