Disclosed is a method for the removal of urea dust from the off-gas of a finishing section of a urea production plant. the method comprises subjecting the off-gas to quenching with water so as to produce quenched off-gas. The quenched off-gas is subjected to humidification by mixing said quenched gas stream with a humidification fluid selected from (a) saturated steam and (b) superheated steam mixed with a second aqueous stream, so as to produce a humidified gas stream, subjecting said humidified gas stream to particle separation (i.e., dust removal) by means of a scrubbing liquid in which at least part of the particles in the gas stream are soluble.
