Almost all the participants (98%) reported that dust settles on their house roofing, surfaces, and clothing at home; 97% reported that the leaves of plants and crops around the house are covered with dust, and 96% reported that plants do not grow well when the dust covers their leaves. On the effects of dust on vision, only 20% of the ...
Plants usually show damage in a variety of ways, including visible signs of damage like necrotic lesions on leaves, stunted plant growth, changing in leaf color including chlorosis (aka yellowing leaves), reddening, bronzing, mottling [2]. Let's have a look at how the most common air pollutants affect vegetation.
Marble processing produces immense amounts of solid waste, which causes environmental issues. This work aims to "recycle marble dust waste" (MDW) with and without granulated slag to prepare filled as well as pozzolanic-filled cement. Innovative cement-based granulated slag and/or waste marble dust composites were fabricated. …
ing and marble-based industries. The air pollution caused by the dust generated in the process of crushing and extracting marble can cause serious problems to the general physiological functions of plants and it affects human life as well. Therefore, the objectives of this study were to assess the air
Quickly spray both colors in the water. Use the skewer to move the paint around. Pick up the pot and carefully dip it into the water. Roll the pot around so that all sides get covered. Place the terracotta pot upside down on the wine bottle so it can dry. Allow to fully dry as it should not be tacky to the touch.
Further, it is observed that marble dust leads to increase the maximum dry density and optimum water content. The increase in specific gravity of soil, reduction in …
in highly susceptible plants [13]. In a study to evaluate the effect of marble dust on plants, the chlorophyll content of different species of trees was measured. It was found that chloro-phyll content was reduced significantly in trees near marble industries [14]. Similarly, poor air quality harms human health [15].
The marble dust effect was positively on the geotechnical properties of soil. The optimum % of expansive soil was found to be 40%. The samples were curing also effects the strength of soil, more curing gave more strength to the soil. V.K. Arora et al. (2017) explained the effect of marble dust in non-plastic silts. According to them, the best ...
The paper describes the effect of marble dust on plants in and around Vishwakarma Industrial Area (VKIA) Jaipur, Rajasthan (India). Trees species growing in and around VKIA area were selected and various morphological characteristics were studied such as leaf area dry weight ratio (LADWR), Dust retaining capacity (DRC) and …
For the present investigation, cement has partially been replaced with marble dust. The composition of marble dust has been illustrated in Table 2. It mentions that the marble dust is composed of 40.45% CaO and 28.35% SiO 2 with a specific gravity of 2.6. In addition to it, the fine aggregates have been partially replaced with foundry …
Workers in marble processing plants are at high risk of exposure to high levels of marble dust containing silica, but there are limited studies evaluating the genotoxicity and oxidative stress parameters of workers occupationally exposed to marble dust. ... It is concluded that the genotoxic effects of marble dust may be caused by …
The air pollution caused by the dust generated in the process of crushing and extracting marble can cause serious problems to the general physiological functions of plants and …
The MD is created from the extraction of marble in various ways or from the process of cutting marble in processing plants. MD is the small-sized marble waste and the majority consists of marble particles under 300 μm. ... Uygunoğlu T (2009) Effect of waste marble dust content as filler on properties of self-compacting concrete. Constr …
