Fugitive dust means solid airborne particulate matter emitted from any source other than a flue or stack.
Fugitive dust means particulate, composed of soil and/or industrial particulates such as ash, coal, minerals, etc., which becomes airborne because of wind or mechanical disturbance of surfaces.
