Melbourne, Australia (PRWEB) - ATMOS Global (ATMOS Global Pty Ltd – Elite Atmospheric Air Quality Modelling & Forecasting and Climate Change Research Consultants™) launched recently its first-of-its-kind new global initiative VerifiedDust ™: Evidence-based Dust Management and Dust Control Verification Program™, a global event, a ‘journey of 1000 mines’ inspired by ATMOS Global™'s 2020 vision born from the desire to make a difference. ATMOS Global’s dust management and dust control VerifiedDust ™ success stories have reached an audience of more than one million people in the Asia-Pacific, North America, South America and Europe.

VerifiedDust™ is an innovative platform for engaging mine site operators with a systematic dust management and dust control framework that will support them in selecting the most suitable and sustainable approaches for their mining operations to:

• ensure compliance with the relevant legislation
• improve company’s image
• increase profitability.

After undertaking a methodical and thorough verification process, on an annual basis, ATMOS Global™ awards the VerifiedDust™ accolade (valid for 12 months) to mine sites that are using cutting-edge dust management technologies and demonstrate an ongoing control of their dust emissions.

Dr Orestis Valianatos, the Global President and Chief Executive Officer of ATMOS Global, said that “ATMOS Global™ 's VerifiedDust™ program uses rating grids to provide mining operators with a practical and complete set of defined choices, specifications and actions that will bring immediate environmental benefits”.
