Nuisance particles

When we investigate complaints about particles, we consider the:

• quantity of particles being emitted;
• duration and rate of emission and the particle's characteristics and qualities;
• sensitivity of the environment into which the particles are being emitted and the impact that it has had or may have;
• the view of other neighbours or complainants.

How can I reduce my air-borne particles?

• Consider weather conditions before starting jobs such as spray painting and chemical spraying.
• Use accurate spraying equipment.
• Erect a physical barrier such as sheets or hessian.
• Consider an alternative location such as a commercial spray booth.
