Adaro undertakes extensive and continuous air monitoring around the mining operations at Tutupan and along the entire length of the coal haul road to Kelanis to ensure that methods being used to control dust levels are effective at meeting all required regulations up to international standards  and minimizing the impact on the local communities surrounding the operations.

Dust control within the mine and areas where coal is stockpiled is carried out primarily through water spraying from mobile tankers and fixed spraying points with frequency of watering being adjusted to take into account seasonal differences in rainfall. Additionally, agglomerating agents in solution are sprayed onto the static coal stockpiles at Kelanis as an additional form of dust control.
