The Royal Commission for Riyadh City, the Municipality of the Region, and the National Center for Environmental Compliance have approved a new regulation to reduce dust emissions resulting from construction and development projects in the capital. The regulation includes setting a ceiling for particulate matter with a diameter of 10 microns at 340 micrograms per cubic meter, enforcing 11 technical controls to manage dust, and prohibiting activities when wind speeds exceed 25 kilometers per hour. It also links construction projects to a digital monitoring platform for real-time tracking of emissions, along with strict monitoring procedures, collaboration with developers to submit early dust management plans, and promoting the efficient use of water through treated water. The aim of this decision is to protect air quality and public health by precisely controlling emissions and ensuring environmental compliance, especially amidst rapid urban expansion and the desert soils of Riyadh that are prone to fast erosion.
