Nowadays environmental pollution in great dimensions has occurred parallel to industrial development. In our country, various industrial foundations have been opened to work due to this development and the effect of these on ecology haven't been taken into consideration. Generally, the Plants were established on agricultural fields or natural grass and pastures because of some reasons. In this study, the effect of dust particles which are air originated pollutant parameters on some plants have been studied. According to the aim, cultural (Medicago sativa) and natural plant (Agropyron sp.) with a tree (Populus nigra) were examined. In which direction and how to change total amount of chlorophyll, carbohydrate and dry matter of the plant samples picked up nearby (100 m.) and far from (500 m.) the cement factory which spreads dust particles to the environment was studied. As a result, it has been observed that cement dust emissions spread to the environment have negative effects on the development of plants. Statistically, the reduction in chlorophyll P < 0.01 (significant); carbohydrates reduction in Agropyron sp., a grassland plants, < 0.005 (very significant), in other species P < 0.01 (significant); the amount of dry matter in Medicago sativa and Populus nigra leaf P < 0.01 (significant); and in their body < 0.005 (very significant), was identified, respectively. It has been determined that especially dust emissions have a negative effect on photosynthesis by covering the leaves of plants, so they cause a decrease at the levels of some metabolic products.
