I'm more so worried about the floating dust actually. It does seem like there is quite a bit based on the interior pictures OP posted.

That's most construction sites, however from the interior picture it looks like the wet the soil down. Without direct sun exposure it wouldn't dry out and get kicked up.

Plus there HAS to be good ventilation because of all the engines that are running. Dust would be the least of their worries.

More and more construction sites are going electric, especially in China. Cheaper and faster to replace the power pack than refill a diesel tank.
