Title: DEVELOPMENT OF A SOIL SAMPLING TECHNIQUE AND MEASUREMENT OF DEAGGLOMERATION OF SIX SOILS TO DETERMINE DUST PRODUCING CAPABILITY
Abstract: Abstract : A technique was developed for obtaining soil samples for purposes of soil particle (dust) size distribution measurement. A method of determining or predicting the dustiness of soils through quantitative measurement of dust size particles within the surface (active) soil is presented. Six soils were exposed to vehicle (M38Al truck) traffic. Surface soil samples were collected after various numbers of vehicle passes and the size distribution analysis of each sample was made. The deagglomeration or breakdown of the surface soil below approximately 74 microns is assumed representatively of the dustiness potential of the soil. Other factors concerning dustiness of soils are discussed.
