“The development of the EA1 microbial technology was completed with testing at Pascua-Lama for which a performance white paper was developed to confirm the high effectiveness of specific microbial strains to control dust” stated Dr. Viviane Yargeau, CTO of Earth Alive. She further added “with the availability of this kind of technology, modern mining operations no longer need to use harsh chemicals and large amounts of water in dust control operations.”
Earth Alive’s biodegradable microbial EA1 technology abates dust by using specifically selected microbial strains to aggregate dust particles in the soil. It is the only dust control product in the world to hold an 100% organic approval.
