TLDR
In this paper, an analytical methodology is proposed for estimating diffuse dust emissions from bulk solids managing (storage, handling, and transport) activities in the ceramic industry, based on analytical methods drawn from the AP-42, US Environmental Protection Agency reports and the Emission Estimation Technique (EET) Manual for Mining from Environment Australia.About:

A holistic review of applied methodologies for assessing and selecting the optimal technological alternative from a sustainability perspective
TL;DR: In this paper, an extensive review of the literature was performed to determine which criteria are the most widely used, the methodologies applied to choose those criteria, the sources of information the data is obtained from, the methods for calculating the indicators that allow each criterion to be measured, the different normalising and weighting methods that are applied, the techniques that are most commonly used to compare and choose the best technological alternatives and, finally, the sensitivity analyses that were most often applied to such processes.

Assessing the sustainability of Best Available Techniques (BAT): Methodology and application in the ceramic tiles industry
TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a methodology for identifying sustainable and most appropriate BAT options for a given industrial installation and sector, which involves identification of environmental hot spots from an installation by using life cycle assessment (LCA) to guide the selection of candidate BAT option for targeting the hot spots.

Geochemical Approach to Human Health Risk Assessment of Inhaled Trace Elements in the Vicinity of Industrial Enterprises in Tomsk, Russia
TL;DR: In this article, human health risks due to exposure of heavy metals in the atmospheric air of Tomsk, Russia, were studied, and the concentrations of 22 metals were calculated on the basis of the ICP-MS experimental determination of their contents in the insoluble fraction of snow cover.

TL;DR: In this article, the results of a series of comprehensive studies on particulate matter (PM) carried out in Spain from 1999 to 2001 were summarized and discussed as a function of different monitoring sites and during PM episodes.

Monitoring of PM10 and PM2.5 around primary particulate anthropogenic emission sources
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology based on PM2.5 measurement alone is not adequate for monitoring the impact of primary particulate emissions (such as ceramic emissions) on air quality, since the major ambient air particles derived from these emissions are mainly in the range of 2.5-10μm.

Effect of ceramic industrial particulate emission control on key components of ambient PM10
María Cruz Minguillón,María Cruz Minguillón,Eliseo Monfort,Xavier Querol,Andrés Alastuey,I. Celades,J. V. Miro +6 more
TL;DR: The relationship between specific particulate emission control and ambient levels of some PM(10) components was evaluated, and the potential impact of the implementation of corrective measures to reduce emissions from tile manufacture was quantified, resulting in a possible decrease in ambient mineral PM( 10) in urban and suburban areas.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show the high impact that anthropogenic fugitive emissions of mineral dust have on air quality (levels of PM10, PM2.5 and some metals) in a region in SE Spain named L'Alacanti, showing how the increase of annual average PM10 concentrations over 40μg/m3 is due to extreme episodes occurring in 2006 and 2007, given the simultaneous recording of PM episodes at distant monitoring sites.

TL;DR: Evaluation of 1996-2005 PM data from Onda shows a clear decrease of PM levels since the beginning of 2002, and recommends a lowering target of 3-5 microg/m3 of the annual mean at the urban sites, which should be achievable given available emission abatement techniques.
