Excerpt from Dust Preventives The suppression of dust on roads is a problem which has become prominent only within recent years, but its importance is rapidly in creasing, as it involves the saving of much money and the comfort and convenience of the public at large, as well as of road Users. It is the purpose of this bulletin not only to consider the causes of the formation of dust on highways, but to present the problem as it stands to-day and to indicate in a general way measures which have been taken to solve it. In arriving at a complete understanding of a subject of this kind it is essential that as broad a View of it as possible be obtained, and, in order to achieve this result, one must look at the matter from at least three different standpoints - that of the engineer, the chemist, and the layman. The direct solution of the problem depends to a great extent, of course, upon the efforts of the road engineer, but, as will appear later, the aid of the chemist and road user will eventually prove to be important factors which can not be overlooked. The subject is one which also deserves the attention of the general public, as it has a very direct bearing upon matters which are Of universal interest.
