“…Sedimentation of coarse particles has more effect on the upper surfaces of foliar (Kim et al, 2000;Chaturvedi et al, 2013) while finer particles affects lower surfaces (Ricks and Williams, 1974;Krajickova and Mejstrik, 1984;Fowler et al, 1989;Beckett et al, 2000). Smaller particles are entered through the stomata while larger size particles are piled up on the foliar surfaces and block the stomata further affecting photosynthesis, water retention, gaseous exchange and finally plant growth and yield (Thompson et al, 1984;Tomasevic et al, 2010;Rai et al, 2010). Deposition of dust particles on the foliar can cause a decrease in stomatal diffusive resistance and increase in leaf temperature (Fluckinger et al 1979).…”

“…In his review of the effects of dust on vegetation, Farmer (1993) concluded that many of the dust-effect studies focused on limestone dust from cement factories and its effects on nearby agricultural fields (e.g., Thompson et al 1984, Sharifi et al 1997, Myers-Smith et al 2006 and suggested that future studies focus on additional types of dust (e.g., road dust) and their effects on plants in natural systems.…”

“…This leads to reduced photosynthesis, due to reduced leaf area, clogging of stomata and interception in the incident light due to cement encrustations on the leaf surface. Thomson et al [26] studied the effects of roadside dust on photosynthesis and leaf diffusion resistance over a range of light intensities. They concluded that photosynthesis was reduced tremendously when leaves were dusted with 5 to 10 g of dust per m² of leaf surface.…”
