A mine safety dust exhibiting improved dispersion in water. The rock dust includes dolomitic limestone particles which, when mixed at the mine site to form a slurry, stay in suspension during intermittent operation of spray machinery and with a reduced need for continuous mixing. The rock dust composition includes an inorganic salt that acts as a dispersant to improve dispersion of the rock dust in water and further acts as a deflocculant to keep the dust particles in suspension in the resultant slurry.

The disclosed method of reducing dust from livestock footing comprises preparing a liquid dedusting composition comprising a 1-dodecene homopolymer (PAO) and applying the composition to the livestock footing. In certain aspects, the dedusting composition has a kinematic viscosity of between about 4 centistokes and about 10 centistokes at 100° C. In further aspects, the composition is applied to the footing at a rate of between about 0.25% and about 1.5% (w/w). Further disclosed in a kit for dedusting livestock footing comprising a dedusting composition comprising 1-dodecene homopolymer (PAO) having a kinematic viscosity of between about 4 centistokes and about 10 centistokes at 100° C. and an applicator, configured and arranged to disperse the dedusting composition in the form of droplets between about 105 μm VDM and about 665 μm VDM.

The invention is a dust control substances-solution (DCSS). The invention discloses the substances the DCSS is made of, how they are to be mixed and how the DCSS is to be applied. The DCSS is based on treated soft wood particles and substances that form a layer oved dust covered surfaces. The layer traps water that is applied to the surface, thus, maintaining the dust in aggregates and prevents its raising to the air.
