One part of the handling process that generates dust is stockpiling.

First, some locations have limited access to water. Second, it’s not a viable dust control option for some materials. Third, water usually requires frequent re-application. In locations that are very hot and dry, water can evaporate not long after it is applied. Chemical dust suppressants function as a longer-lasting solution to dust control problems.
