Background. Cement dust inhalation is associated with deleterious health effects. The impact of cement dust exposure on the peak expiratory flow rate (PEFR), liver function, and some serum elements in workers and residents near cement factory were assessed.Methods. Two hundred and ten subjects (50 workers, 60 residents, and 100 controls) aged 18–60 years were studied. PEFR, liver function{aspartate and alanine transaminases (AST and ALT) and total and conjugated bilirubin (TB and CB)}, and serum elements{lead (Pb), copper (Cu), manganese (Mn), iron (Fe), cadmium (Cd), selenium (Se), chromium (Cr), zinc (Zn), and arsenic (As)}were determined using peak flow meter, colorimetry, and atomic absorption spectrometry, respectively. Data were analysed using ANOVA and correlation atp=0.05.Results. The ALT, TB, CB, Pb, As, Cd, Cr, Se, Mn, and Cu were significantly higher and PEFR, Fe, and Zn lower in workers and residents compared to controls (p<0.05). Higher levels of ALT, AST, and Fe and lower levels of Pb, Cd, Cr, Se, Mn, and Cu were seen in cement workers compared to residents (p<0.05). Negative correlation was observed between duration of exposure and PEFR (r=-0.416,p=0.016) in cement workers.Conclusions. Cement dust inhalation may be associated with alterations in serum elements levels and lung and liver functions while long term exposure lowers peak expiratory flow rate.

Background : Cement factory workers are exposed to cement dust during their daily work activities. Chronic exposure to cement dust may have adverse effect on the haemopoietic system and the workers would suffer from anemia that may lead to cardiovascular disease. Objective: To assess the effects of exposure to cement dust on hemoglobin concentration and total count of RBC in cement factory workers. Methods : This cross sectional study was conducted in the Department of Physiology, Dhaka Medical College, Dhaka from July 2017 to June 2018. After fulfilling the ethical consideration, 46 apparently healthy male cement factory workers, working in a cement factory for 2 years or more, with age ranging from 20 to 50 years were study group and 46 age, BMI and socioeconomic condition matched apparently healthy male subjects from different areas of Dhaka city were control group. Hemoglobin concentration and total count of RBC were estimated using automated haematology analyzer. For statistical analysis, Unpaired Student’s ‘t’ test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient test were performed. Results: In this study, hemoglobin concentration and total count of RBC were significantly (p < 0.05) lower in study group than those of control group. Hemoglobin concentration was negatively related with duration of cement dust exposure. Conclusions: This study concludes that the cement dust exposure had deleterious effect on hemoglobin concentration and total count of RBC and the duration of exposure to cement dust had an impact on hemoglobin concentration.

Abstract Cement manufacturing industries are one of the most common reasons of air pollution, surface and ground water pollution and noise pollution and is also indirectly affecting the people residing near the cement plants. This study was carried out to quantify the cement dust emission from Bokajan Cement Corporation of India’s cement factory falling on the residences and to determine its effect on some selected household activities and general well-being of the people residing near it. An experimental method was carried out to estimate the accumulated cement dust in households. The findings showed that household activities performed by the residence were dependent upon the dust exposure, which means more the dusts are more are the cleaning and maintenance. It was also found that cement dust highly affected general wellbeing of the respondents living in southern direction and lowest affect was observed among the respondents of the east direction.

Soil samples were collected from and around Almarqub cement factory, AL-Khums city, Libya. These samples were collected from four different sites M1 (inside the factory), M2 (150 m from the factory), M3 (350 m from the factory) and M4 (60 km away from the factory as the control samples. The study was conducted to determine the heavy metal concentration in the soil. Organic matter, pH and water content value were determined according to the method described by Chaturvedi and Sankar (2006). Metals were determined by Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer. The results obtained for the examined physiochemical properties of soil in the area studied prove that cement dust from the Almarqub cement factory has had a significant impact on the soil. The affected soil properties are pH and total calcium content. These properties were found to be higher than those in similar soils from the same area unpolluted. The increase of soil pH in the same area may be a result of precipitation of cement dust over the years. Metal uptake from cement to soil and plants. Metals determined in contamination soil indicated high concentrations in M1 inside cement factory compared to soil samples as control. Results of the analysis have shown that there are signs of slight impact of soil properties arising from the cement dust on the soils, especially at location inside the factory. Recommendations were offered to monitor the dust falling on the soils through trapping and utilizing the dust emissions of cement.
