Abstract
The Ceylon Journal of Science is a peer-reviewed journal published quarterly by the University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka in March, June, September and December. It is aimed at publishing high quality research articles on topics related to different disciplines in Science. The journal accepts original research articles, book reviews, reviews and mini-reviews, short communications, opinions, research notes, and commentaries and notes. The journal strictly adheres to publication ethics as emphasized by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The Journal has its own website.The Ceylon Journal of Science is indexed in Sri Lanka Journals Online (SLJOL), Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ), Google Scholar and Zoological Records.

Highlights
Dust is one of the most common air pollutants, derived from the interaction of solid, liquid, and gaseous materials produced by both natural and artificial processes (Banerjee, 2003)
Vehicle movement is one of the main factors that contribute the production of road dust
The turbulence created by movement of vehicles would not be adequate to lift and transport the generated coarse dust particles since the momentum of vehicles is minimal
Summary
Dust is one of the most common air pollutants, derived from the interaction of solid, liquid, and gaseous materials produced by both natural and artificial processes (Banerjee, 2003). The decline of air quality in urban areas around the world has been one of the key challenges in recent decades. Many emerging countries face several environmental issues (Bhaskar and Mehta, 2010). Dust contributes significantly to fine particulate matter (PM) emissions (Wang et al, 2005; Wang et al, 2011). Transportation-related activities such as vehicular emissions and abrasion-induced wear of tires, brake pads, and other vehicle parts, as well as industrial and domestic activities, are the anthropogenic sources of dust (Chang et al, 2009; Bhaskar and Mehta, 2010; Gupta, 2020). Coal and other fossil fuel-fired power stations, mining activities, the cement and lime industries, and construction activities all contribute to the secondary dust particle formation process.
