There are several reasons for the increase in the volume of dust in a certain area of the city.
In the dry periods and in the summer, the lack of humidity can provoke more dust concentration in the atmosphere. In general, the dust is produced by the slash and burn process, civil works, roads maintenance, vehicles and industrial activities.
Our atmospheric emission control system has as a priority to prevent that the materials used in the industrial process increase the volume of dust in the atmosphere in Vitoria Metropolitan Area.
