ABSTRACT

In the vicinity of the cement business in Nimbahera, Rajasthan, a study was conducted to evaluate the effects of pollution from the industry on a few chosen plant species. Studying the impact of cement dust on chlorophyll in sesame and ground nut for 25, 50, 75, 100 and 125 days the cement industry was sampled at various distances. Compared to the control location, the chlorophyll pigments were decreased in plant species exposed to dust. Chlorophyll content changes in a few plant species exposed to cement industry dust were looked at. The amount of chlorophyll in each of the chosen plant species was measured, and it was discovered that plants furthest from cement plants had more chlorophyll than those closer to the industry. In compared to plants that had been dusted, control plants were consiste ntly shown to have greater chlorophyll levels. In the examined plants, reductions of up to 79.28% were noted. Cement dust pollution has generally had a negative impact on the photosynthetic pigments. Keywords: chlorophyll, groundnut, sesam, cement, pollution
