| Summary: | This project can be considered to be an
initial process leading to the ultimate objective of
identifying and assigning costs associated with the impacts
of vehicle-generated dust so that the benefits can be
quantified, if these impacts are ameliorated through actions
such as the provision of a sealed road surface. The report
outlines the background to the project, the results of the
review process, describes the need for a comprehensive
approach and identifies and provides some provisional
estimates the possible impacts of traffic generated dust on
road safety, health, agriculture and the environment. The
objectives of the project, the achievements made, the
problems encountered and the findings to date are described.
The report outlines the overall approach that has been
undertaken to achieve the stated aims of the project in
relation to the available data. The outcomes from
discussions with prospective developing country partners are
reported together with the results of correspondence and
discussions with other professionals. Recommendations and
conclusions are made on the work undertaken to date. An
outline methodology and terms of reference are provided for
a follow-up study. |
