German term or phrase: ruhende Fraktionen
In einem Gutachten, dass sich mit der Emissionsbelastung durch eine Spanplattenanlage beschäftigt, taucht dieser Begriff unter der Überschrift"Diffuse Emissionen" auf:

Trockene Fraktionen neigen stärker zu diffusen Emissionen als nasse Fraktionen (Recyclingholz - Frischholz)
**Ruhende Fraktionen** entwickeln erst ab einer bestimmten Windgeschwindigkeit diffuse Emissionen (Haufwerke)

non-moving materials


Explanation:
or perhaps also non-moving volumes and loads. Might be best to use a term that can be applied to both moving and non-moving loads as the German does. Apart from that, it may be impossible to match the same degree of abstraction that "Fraktionen" represents.

stationary particles


Explanation:
Fraktionen in this context appears to refer to tiny, dust-sized particles which together constitute the gases and effluent of carbon emissions; see definitions for the related chemistry meaning of fractions in EN.
