Hello, many years ago we have studied dust pollution due to quarrying activity. Most of the data are in this paper: Das, DB, Bhargave, A, Kushwaha, R, Gupta, AB, Pandit, MK (1998) Quarrying induced particulate air pollution in Jaipur City, western India, Journal of Nepal Geological Society, 18, pp.369-378.

You may download it from my list of publication but if there is any problem please email at [email protected], I wil email you a copy..

Hello, emission factors EPA can be of great help.

Thanks..

I agree with Roberto that EPA emission factors are probably the most robust source for estimates of the released inventories. In our studies of similar kind we used the following report

U.S. Department of Energy. 1994. DOE Handbook, Airborne Release Fractions/Rates and Respirable Fractions for Nonreactor Nuclear Facilities, Volume 1 - Analysis of Experimental Data. DOE-HDBK-3010-94, Washington, D.C.

which is available online (http://energy.gov/ehss/downloads/doe-hdbk-3010-94-0) from which respiratory fraction (RF) could be also extracted (we used RF=0.2 based on this report).

Regarding influence of demolition activities on airborne concentrations there are also some other important references, e.g.

Dorevitch S., etal, 2006. Demolition of high-rise public housing increases particulate matter air pollution in communities of high-risk asthmatics // J. Air Waste Manag. Assoc. 56:1022-1032

and papers of Dr. Prashant Kumar from the University of Surrey (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Prashant_Kumar33), which are mainly about nanoparticles; they also concern the question of source estimation.
