Cement production is noted for particulate pollution of the environment because of high dust
emissions and heavy metals that later deposited in soils, serving as a sink. This study aimed …

(1) Background: Particulate matter increases the risk of respiratory, allergic and oncological
diseases in both exposed workers and the general population due to its toxic compounds …

Arsenic and chromium are widespread environmental contaminants that affect global health
due to their toxicity and carcinogenicity. To date, few studies have investigated exposure to …

This study assessed the level of contamination of the topsoil by Pb, Cu, Cr, Cd and Zn and
the spatial distribution of these heavy metals around a cement factory. Thirty–eight …

Mobilization and dispersion of potentially toxic elements into the atmosphere and human
environment due to industrial and anthropogenic activities have been associated with …

Mineralogical and morphological characteristics and heavy metal content of different
fractions (bulk, non-magnetic fraction-NMF and magnetic fraction-MF) of road dusts from the …

In desert areas, a set of environmental stresses such as salinity and dust simultaneously
affect plant biomass and nutritional value. In this study, the effects of two halotolerant plant …

This study was aimed at investigating the relative abundance of heavy metals in cement dust
from different cement dust factories in order to predict their possible roles in the severity of …

Of the various airborne pollutants, pumped into the atmosphere due to anthropogenic
activities and/or natural phenomena, heavy metals constitute a potent threat to human …

Increased concentration of cement dust pollutants causes invisible injuries like progressive
decline in the physiological process such as photosynthetic ability and respiration rate of …
