News Brief

Dust clouds produced by exploding clay

Full Story:

The visual effects of apocalyptic dust clouds, mega explosions, or dust trails behind speeding vehicles have long been achieved by using the controlled dispersion of dried clay minerals into the atmosphere. However, recently, there has been concern expressed with regard to potential health risks associated with this practice.

The challenge facing Specialist Aggregates was to précis known technical parameters of specific dried clays and to present the potential for harm from high doze, short-term exposure of respirable crystalline silica contained within the clay compounds.

Clearly any safety judgement has to be site and situation specific, however, Specialist Aggregates put forward a reasoned appraisal for considering Bentonite clay for when producers needed to kick up a storm : And its first order?? Two tonnes shipped to a film location in Morocco. We just hope is that it’s not the same dust that has been blown from the Sahara back over the UK!

At the other end of the dusty spectrum Specialist Aggregates have completed an ultra low dust, low odour, lightweight aggregate for the Royal Opera House. What else would you need when trying to bury a body whilst singing Wagner! But that as they say that is a story for another day!

Of all the tens of thousands of aggregate images we have on file we don’t have a single one of a dust storm (or a Wagner Opera) so you just have to put up with one of a rather hazy morning in Hong Kong harbour, and an image demonstrating the effects of air pollution in Aberdeen.
Here the recently cleaned and renovated silver granite façade of Marischal College contrasts against the century of grime accumulated on the adjacent Mitchell Tower.
