Increased concentration of cement industry pollutants causes invisible injuries like progressive decline in the physiological process such as photosynthetic ability and respiration rate of leaves. Similarly, visible injuries such as closure leaf stomata, a marked reduction in growth and productivity were observed due to cement industry pollution. The present study particularly discriminate the effect of cement industry pollution on sesemum indicum which is popularly grown in and around the vicinity of the cement industry and its consequence effect on production of crop. The present work focused on growth and yield response of Til due to cement industry pollution. All the morphological and yield parameters were analyzed for the industrial plants and compared with control plants. Ambient air quality was also monitored for PM10 and PM2.5 at the entire selected site.
