Role Of Selective Soil Parameters In Assessing The Soil Quality Affected By Cement Dust To Enhance The Foundation Engineering And Earth Sciences

Abstract

Abstract The Central Pollution Control Board has listed cement industry as one of the major polluting industries and has been ranked great for deteriorating the quality of air and unbalancing the environment in our Country. It has played foremost role in altering the quality and properties of soil by altering its vital parameters. At Jammu and Kashmir Cements Limited, Khrew, the goal of this study is to see how cement dust affects electrical conductivity, exchangeable calcium and magnesium, accessible nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and bulk density. The current investigation discovered significant changes in the above soil properties in the three study sites. The study is conclusive that that these parameters could be used as indicative parameters in assessing the quality of soil effected by cement dust.
