This paper examines different sources of dust generation and quantifies dust emission rates from different point, area and
line sources considering background dust concentration at one of the Opencast Coal Project (OCP) of Western Coalfields
Limited. Air quality modeling using Fugitive Dust Model (FDM) reveals that dust generated due to mining activities does not
contribute to ambient air quality significantly in surrounding areas beyond 500 m in normal meteorological conditions. Predicted
values of total suspended particulate matter (TSPM) using FDM are 68-92% of observed values. A management strategy is
formulated for effective control of air pollution at source and other mitigative measures including green belt design have also
been recommended.
