Which of the following methods can help reduce airborne particulates during outdoor construction activities?

Applying non-toxic dust suppressants is the best answer because construction activity pollution prevention aims to reduce erosion, sedimentation, and airborne dust during construction. LEED Sustainable Sites requires strategies that limit environmental damage caused by construction activities. Dust suppressants, temporary seeding, mulching, silt fences, erosion control blankets, and other erosion and sediment control measures can help stabilize disturbed soil and reduce particulate pollution. Masks may protect individual workers, but they do not reduce dust released into the environment. Weekly air quality testing may identify a problem but does not directly control particulates. Increasing exposed soil areas would worsen dust, erosion, and runoff problems. A proper construction pollution prevention plan protects air, soil, water bodies, and surrounding communities.
