MISTIFY
AI REDUCING AQI
INVISIBLE THREATS , VISIBLE SOLUTIONS
Mistify is a tech-driven company that delivers innovative DUST SUPPRESSION SOLUTION for construction and industrial sites. With an emphasis on environmental sustainability and public health, Mistify's solutions use advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) to optimize dust control, reducing particulate matter (PM) emissions.
The company’s mission is to combat dust pollution, a pressing environmental issue, by offering a more effective, resource-efficient approach to dust suppression.
Air We Share, Care We Must:
The Truth About Air Pollution
The CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY is a significant contributor to air pollution, affecting the environment and public health. Dust from demolition, excavation, and construction activities releases fine particulate matter (PM2.5 and PM10), which can penetrate deep into the lungs, causing respiratory and cardiovascular problems.
MAJOR IMPACTS
Global Impact
Particulate matter (PM) emissions from construction activities have profound global impacts, leading to significant economic losses and health burdens. The fine particulates (PM2.5 and PM10) released during construction not only degrade air quality but also result in chronic illnesses like asthma, lung diseases, and cardiovascular conditions. These health issues contribute to increased healthcare costs and reduced workforce productivity. Globally, air pollution, with PM emissions as a major component, costs economies trillions of dollars annually. For example, in 2018, the World Bank reported that air pollution-related illnesses led to economic losses exceeding $5 trillion due to healthcare expenses and premature mortality. Construction activities exacerbate this issue, particularly in urban areas where emissions are concentrated. Moreover, the health impacts disproportionately affect vulnerable populations, leading to social inequities and further straining public health systems. A study assessing PM impacts in London found that PM concentrations near construction zones exceeded safety thresholds, contributing to long-term health degradation and associated costs. Effective mitigation strategies, such as advanced dust suppression techniques and stricter emission standards, are essential to curb these emissions, protect public health, and reduce the economic losses tied to construction-related air pollution.
Worker Health
Community
Health
Construction activities significantly impact community health due to the generation of particulate matter (PM), particularly PM10 and PM2.5. Research indicates that construction dust and emissions can elevate PM levels in surrounding areas, with concentrations of PM10 found to be up to 2.2 times higher during active construction hours compared to non-working hours. This leads to adverse health effects in nearby communities, including respiratory diseases such as asthma, chronic bronchitis, and cardiovascular conditions. Long-term exposure to PM can also exacerbate pre-existing health issues, particularly in vulnerable populations like children, the elderly, and individuals with compromised immune systems. Studies from London show that PM10 concentrations from construction activities often exceed recommended safety thresholds, contributing to significant public health burdens​. Furthermore, the spatial dispersion of construction dust indicates that areas downwind from construction sites experience higher PM concentrations, which decline logarithmically with distance but can still have a lingering impact. Such findings underscore the need for stricter mitigation measures to reduce the release of PM and protect both workers and surrounding communities from its harmful effects​.
Death Rate
Construction workers face significant health risks due to continuous exposure to dust pollution and particulate matter (PM), including PM10 and PM2.5, which are generated from activities like demolition, drilling, and material handling. Workers in such environments frequently experience reduced lung function and occupational asthma, with fatigue, headaches, and lowered productivity further compounding their health challenges. Research indicates a higher mortality risk from PM exposure, with studies attributing nearly 2.89 million premature deaths globally in 2019 to PM2.5, a significant portion of which originated from construction activities.
Particulate matter (PM) emissions from construction activities significantly contribute to increased death rates, particularly in urban environments. PM2.5, a fine particulate matter generated during construction activities, is small enough to penetrate deep into the lungs and bloodstream, leading to severe health conditions such as respiratory illnesses, heart diseases, strokes, and cancer. Research indicates that PM2.5 was responsible for an estimated 2.89 million premature deaths globally in 2019, with a significant proportion attributed to construction-related emissions. Vulnerable populations, including children, the elderly, and individuals with preexisting health issues, face a disproportionately higher risk of mortality due to their prolonged exposure to elevated PM levels near construction zones. Studies have also shown that communities downwind of construction sites experience spikes in PM concentrations, exacerbating public health risks​, These findings highlight the urgent need for robust dust control strategies and stricter enforcement of emission standards at construction sites to reduce their contribution to premature deaths and safeguard public health.
