    1. Dust from cement factories coats plant leaves, reducing their ability to absorb sunlight and grow. It alters soil chemistry, harming root systems and plant biodiversity. Animals exposed to cement dust may suffer from breathing problems or toxic exposure. Insects, especially pollinators, are also affected. Long-term accumulation of cement particles in the environment disturbs ecological balance and threatens wildlife habitats.
