摘要

This invention relates to a dust suppression system for positioning in a container for a dusting material which creates a dust when agitated. The system comprises a means for forming an upper mist layer for preventing escape of the dust from the container, and a means for forming a lower mist layer below the upper mist layer for settling the dust into the container. In one form, the container is a hold of a ship, and the opening is a hatch for the hold.
