Cement dust contains heavy metals like nickel, cobalt, lead, chromium, pollutants hazardous to the biotic environment, with impact for vegetation, 11. human and animal health and ecosystems. Present paper attempts to focus on impact of cement emission on plant vegetation.
Statistically significant risks were found mainly for respiratory diseases among children: OR (95% CI ) for the moderately exposed category (E1), OR (95% CI ) for the highly exposed category (E2), with an attributable risk of 38% of hospital admissions due to
Work place environment monitoring for cement dust and silica will be carried out. 6. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH OF THE WORKERS Health hazards associated with the occupation are called occupational hazards. In Cement industry the major sources of emission are: 1. Raw material handling: Total Dust or Suspended Particulate Matter. 2.
The most significant environment health and safety issue of cement manufacturing is emission [15]. Cement industry is potential anthropogenic source of air pollution. It has estimated that cement production originates about 5% of global manmade CO 2 emissions [13]. The typical gaseous
