Jäännöspöly

Jäännöspöly, also known as residual dust, refers to fine particulate matter that remains suspended in the air or settles on surfaces after an initial disturbance has ceased. This dust can originate from a variety of sources, including construction sites, industrial processes, natural events like dust storms, and even everyday activities such as sweeping or walking. The particles composing jäännöspöly are typically very small, often less than 10 micrometers in diameter, which allows them to remain airborne for extended periods and be easily inhaled.

The composition of jäännöspöly varies greatly depending on its source. It can contain mineral fragments, organic matter, soot, metals, and other microscopic particles. In occupational settings, prolonged exposure to jäännöspöly can pose health risks, potentially leading to respiratory issues and other ailments. In outdoor environments, it contributes to air pollution and can affect visibility. The settling of jäännöspöly on surfaces can also lead to aesthetic concerns and require regular cleaning. Management of jäännöspöly often involves dust suppression techniques, ventilation, and personal protective equipment in areas where it is prevalent.
