Abstract: The present study implies the impact of dust emitted from a cement works on physico-chemical properties of soil and their impact on the mineral compositions of plants. The soil samples were collected from each plot before sowing and after harvesting and labelled separately. Their physico-chemical properties such as pH, electrical conductivity, available nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium, zinc, copper, iron and manganese were estimated the result as a significant influence due to cement dust. Cement dust as an negative implication on soil and plants.
