Crushed Limestone Moisture

Crushed limestone moisture is one factor that affects pollution emissions during processing. Contributing to the variability of uncontrolled emissions are those factors that are directly linked to moisture content, notably geographical location and weather (which may vary by season). Controlling the moisture content of crushed limestone while processing is critical to meeting emission requirements.
