The major sources of dust pollution include suspension of soil, agriculture-related activities, road dust, vehicular exhaust, power plants, construction activities, open fires, brick kilns, cement factories and volcanoes. Due to this pollution, plants suffer from stomatal closure leading to cell/tissue changes, leaves' necrosis, pigment loses and chlorosis. The first physiological reaction after dust deposition to the vegetation takes place on the leaf with reduced net assimilation efficiency. Moreover, the long-term depositions change the photochemistry leading to retarded leaf growth. Deposits for many years over plants' surface lead to a large-scale reduction in the assimilate balance. Additionally, there are few reports on abrasive effects of dust, especially under high wind speed; supporting secondary effects such as an increase in diseases and pest incidence after the protective leaf cuticle were removed physically. Changes in soil chemistry due to dust deposition in the rhizosphere also lead to a change in soil nutritional values. In this article, we summarized the influences of dust pollution on various parameters of vegetation.
