Abstract :
Contaminants resulting from cement industry include dust, C compounds, sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides. Through the mentioned materials dust is more important Than the other Pollutant As its high production and emission in the environment. In this research the effects of dust resulting from Abyek Cement Factory on diversity and density of rangeland vegetation cover were studied. Types and amounts of soil elements, variation and density of rangeland vegetation and amount of cement sedimentation on plants organs in various distances and aspects were investigated. The results of analysis of soil samples elements, amount of dust sedimentation on vegetation organs and assessment of vegetation cover density show that there is an inverted correlation between variation and density of vegetation cover and dust sedimentation exiting from factor smokestacks. Sedimentation amount is reduced as much as we get far away from emission resource. The sedimentation amount is more and vegetation cover variation is less in the factor surroundings. In this area some resistant species such ac Artemisia sp andRosasp are replaced.
