Introduction

Dust pollution from open coal, ore, and mineral stockpiles is a major environmental and health concern in Saudi Arabia and the GCC. Metalkarma Spaceframes provides fully covered, dust-control shed solutions that comply with GCC environmental regulations while protecting stored materials.

The Dust Problem in Ports & Mines

  • Worker health risks from airborne particles
