One proposed solution to fugitive coal dust emissions is to cover the train cars a physical lid. To read more about wet suppression systems, go to: Chemical Dust Suppression: Sprinklers and Surfactants
A 2004 experiment by Ferreira & Vaz found that the use of covers reduces the amount of dust released to be less than 20% of the quantity eroded from the uncovered wagon. In other words, when compared to the no-cover situation, the semi-cover reduced the dust amount released more than 80% for the full-load situation.[1]
