Dust suppression system for roads in rural Costa Rica
(OP)
Hello folks,
Can you guys recommend a method/technology/company that offers a VERY economical solution to road dust? This is still the developing world and civil works are greatly underfunded. The rural areas do not pull the votes to merit investment in the eyes of the politicians. We have a major issue with road dust here. It's been bad in this very dry rainy season, so the upcoming dry season will be worse. Spraying molasses water from the sugar cane mills won't do the trick.
The roads are essentially dirt roads with quite a bit of jagged rock. If you ask questions, I will do my best to provide more details. They vary in roughness. The more traveled roads are generally flatter and in better shape, but they kick up tons of dust which stays airborne and invades any crevice.
Your help is appreciated in mitigating this issue for the community until the roads are paved (20+ years in the making).
Thank you, Ed

If there are any paper mill industries you can come up with, the waste liquor from them has been used at times in the states.

Oil spray was the common solution, but that is now both uneconomical (oil too high a price) and politically unwise.
