Dust is considered as one of the most widespread air pollutants. The objective of the study was to analyze the effect of dust load (DL) on the leaf of 5 tree species planted around areas of ACC Cement plant located at Kymore, Katni District, Madhya Pradesh. The ACC Cement industry is the major source of particulate matter, SOx, NOx and CO2, emissions. Cement dust contains heavy metals like nickel, cobalt, lead and chromium, which are hazardous to the biotic environment, and impact vegetation, human and animal health and ecosystems. Present paper attempts to focus on impact of cement emission on plant vegetation around areas of ACC cement plant. Selected sites for study around industry are kymore, Amraiya, Gudgadauha, Bamhan Gawan, and Khalwara. Maximum dust load 1.69 mg/ cm2 found kymore region on Eucalyptus globulus plant leaves, in amraiya region Max. dust load found 1.51 mg/cm2 on Azadirechta indica, Gudgadauha region dust load found on Madhuca indica that is 0.96 mg/cm2, bamhan gawan region maximum dust load on magnifera indica 0.26 mg/cm2 found, Khalwara region maximum dust load found on magnifera indica 0.29 mg/cm2. Maximum value of chlorosis and necrosis found maximum on Azadirechta indica plant leaves on in regions bamhan gawan 56%, kymore and gudgadauha found 40%, khalwara 35%, Amraiya value of chlorosis / necrosis found 26%and in kymore region maxium vaule of necrosis and chlorosis found on magnifera indica 50%.
