Dust Risk Assessment in Oxford

26 April 2018

Aether has recently completed a dust risk assessment for a proposed development at Oxford University in central Oxford. Due to the central location of the development, a dust risk assessment is required to identify potential impacts from demolition and from earthworks, construction and trackout and recommend mitigation measures where appropriate.

The assessment used the IAQM dust risk guidance to assess the potential impact of the development during the construction phase. Aether suggested mitigation measures to be implemented in order to reduce the developments impact on local air quality.
