This study determined the dust deposition and its impact on foliar chlorophyll contents of three tree species (Azadirachta indica, Bauhinia variegata and Bombax ceiba) growing in the J.P. cement plant region of Naubasta, Rewa (M.P.). Results indicated higher dust load and lower chlorophyll content in the leaves of observed plants at polluted sites, as compared to control site. A negative correlation has been calculated between dust load and chlorophyll contents of leaves sampled from polluted sites. There was marked seasonal variation in the foliar dust accumulation and chlorophyll contents. Leaf samples collected during winter months showed higher accumulation of dust and lower chlorophyll contents as compared to summer and monsoon months leaf samples.
