Fine Dust on Highways: A Hidden Risk and the Solution from Dulevo
While expressways significantly shorten travel time, they have also become massive sources of fine-dust emissions. Thousands of heavy-duty trucks, container vehicles, and passenger buses generate large volumes of PM₂.₅ and PM₁₀ every day through:
-
Diesel engine exhaust
-
Tire, brake, and road-surface abrasion
-
Spilled soil and construction materials
-
Dust lifted from dividers and dry road shoulders
According to WHO, PM₂.₅ particles can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing pneumonia, cardiovascular diseases, and even cancer.
In Vietnam, several major expressways—such as Long Thành–Dầu Giây and Bắc Giang–Lạng Sơn—have recorded dust levels exceeding permissible limits, especially during dry seasons.
Serious Impacts on Road Safety
Fine dust does not only pollute the air; it also creates safety hazards:
Reduced visibility
High-speed traffic stirs dust into a “fog-like” layer, especially dangerous during early morning or nighttime.
Higher risk of skidding
Dust accumulation reduces surface friction, increasing the likelihood of losing control during sudden braking.
Structural degradation
Dust blocks drainage, accelerates pavement wear, and corrodes signage and equipment.
Solution: Active Cleaning with Dulevo Sweeping Technology from Italy
To combat fine dust, many European countries have adopted Dulevo’s specialized sweeping vehicles—renowned for capturing PM₂.₅ with up to 99% efficiency.
PAN Trading now brings two flagship models to Vietnam: Dulevo 6000 Revolution and Dulevo D6, both equipped with advanced dust-control systems.
