Research on the mechanism, characteristics, and control technologies of dust generation from pastewet⁃discharge tailings ponds in high⁃cold and high⁃latitude regions is relatively limited. Focusing on the natural conditionsand causes of dust generation in a large flat⁃type tailings dam located in a high⁃cold and high⁃latitude region, ashort⁃term dust control scheme for the tailings dam was proposed. A directional monitoring program was employed tomeasure the concentration of total suspended particulates before and after implementing dust suppression strategies.The results indicate that, under specific meteorological conditions and operational management practices, the adoptedsuppression measures effectively reduced dust emissions. Medium⁃ and long⁃term dust control measures are alsodiscussed, providing valuable experience for optimizing environmental management of tailings dams and for dustsuppression technologies for tailings dams with wet paste discharge in high⁃cold and high⁃latitude areas.
