Dust is suppressed by contacting a dust-producing material with an emulsion containing (a) 20-99.5% of water and, correspondingly, (b) 80-0.5% of a composition comprising from 0.1% to 20% of at least one methacrylate polymer, a minimum of 70% of at least one hydrophobic liquid and 0.01% to 10% of at least one emulsifying surfactant, all percentages being by weight. The above described emulsions and the composition (b) are novel. |
