Swedish term or phrase: saltning
"Med torra schaktmassor utomhus kan vattenbesprutning eller ***saltning*** vara en lösning för att slippa dammspridning på arbetsplatsen".

Is it true that "saltning" can be used in construction to reduce spreading of dust? Maybe, saltning is a slang word here and thus has a special meaning?

Thank you in advance!

Explanation:
This reference indicates the use of 'salts' -- as in "different electrolytes (e.g., NaCl and CaCl2)" to change the "mechanical properties" of excavated material. An indication that seems to answer your question. Likely needs more searching, though.
