“…SOD catalyzes the dismutation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide (Tyagi et al, 2019). Consistent with our results, several studies reported that SOD activity increased in response to dust deposition in plants (Erdal & Demirtas, 2010;Siqueira-Silva et al, 2017;Siqueira-Silva et al, 2016). POD, another antioxidant enzyme, is broadly distributed among plant tissues and plays a significant role in various growth, development, and senescence processes.…”

This study aimed to characterize if dust sprayed on soybean foliage impacts its yield and yield component characteristics. In 2017 and 2018, soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] was planted using a factorial randomized complete block design with three replicates. Plants were sprayed with a 20 g m-2 of dust at four stages of the growth cycle, including third-node, the beginning of flowering, the beginning of podding, and the beginning of seed formation. Dust spraying was then continued twice weekly until the late full seed stage. Plant measurements included yield, yield components, stomatal conductance, peroxidase, and superoxide dismutase antioxidant enzymes activities. Results showed that depending on the time of application, the dust coverage created a range of yield loss in soybeans, most likely due to a reduction in stomatal conductance, grains plant-1 and 100-seed mass. Therefore, soybean fields that are regularly exposed to dust might be subjected to reduced yield.

“…As a consequence of POD and APX's role in scavenging H 2 O 2 , an increase in POD and APX activities can be regarded as a defence mechanism of the plant against the reinforcement of oxidative processes. Dust accumulation on plants might alter the leaf antioxidant mechanism (Chaturvedi et al 2013), and increased APX activity under dust pollution has been reported by Siqueira-Silva et al (2016).…”

“…Dust pollution causes a progressive reduction in the photosynthetic ability of leaves and in the growth and productivity of plants, leading to a probable change in morphological characteristics, photosynthetic pigment concentration and/ or relationships, as well as in the antioxidant mechanism of leaves (Younis et al 2013, Gupta et al 2015. Closure of leaf stomata and a reduction in stomatal conductance (Siqueira-Silva et al 2016), an increase in leaf temperature and collapse of the leaf cuticle layer have been reported as the negative impacts of dust pollution (Naidoo and Chirkoot 2004). Rai (2016), on the other hand, reported leaf shading, blocking of stomata, transpiration rate reduction and increase in leaf temperature as the problems with dust deposition in plants leading to a direct decline in the photosynthetic rate.…”

Dust pollution can negatively affect plant productivity in hot, dry areas with high insolation during summer. To understand the effect of water-deficit and its interaction with dust pollution on vegetative and physiological changes in grapevine ʻBidaneh Sefidʼ, two-year-old plants were subjected to drought stress (-0.1 and -1 MPa) and dust treatment in a greenhouse during 2013 and 2014. The results showed that dust had a significant negative effect on the number of leaves, shoot length, root and shoot dry weights, and total dry weight under both drought and well-irrigated conditions. Dust, when applied in combination with drought, caused severe growth reduction. Leaf relative water content (RWC) and membrane stability index (MSI) were reduced under dust and drought stress, while soluble carbohydrate, proline, malondialdehyde (MDA) and H 2 O 2 concentrations increased. Furthermore, dust application resulted in characteristics similar to those induced by water-deficit stress and intensified vegetative and physiological changes when applied together. Dust and drought treatments increased peroxidases and ascorbate peroxidase activities when compared to the control. The results indicate that dust has an adverse effect on the growth and physiology of grapevine and plays a negative role in the response of grapevine to drought stress.Ke y wor d s: antioxidant enzymes, drought, dust, growth, lipid peroxidation

“…The equivalent reductions for the two hybrid options are 23% and 11%. These reductions are ascribed to the lower amount of dust generated by the petroleum coke mill, as less or no fuel is consumed by the solar systems (Siqueira-Silva et al 2016, Khaniabadi et al 2018.…”

Cement production is a highly energy-intensive process, contributing 7% to global CO 2 emissions. Over 80% of the energy used in cement production is consumed by the calcination process. This paper considers a novel solar thermal technology for calcination, to investigate if it could help mitigate the climate change and other environmental impacts from cement production on a life cycle basis. The following three solar options are compared to conventional fossil-fuel calcination via life cycle assessment: a full solar system, which provides all the required thermal energy, and two hybrid systems, where the solar system provides 14% and 33% of the thermal energy, respectively. The results show that all three solar options have lower impacts than conventional calcination in 14 out of 17 categories. The full solar system is the best alternative, with major reductions in climate change (48%), fossil depletion (75%), photochemical ozone formation (92%) and terrestrial ecotoxicity (79%). Based on insolation levels in different parts of the world, the solar systems could be applied to 26% of current global cement production. This would reduce the climate change impact by 15-40%, as well as most other impacts by 14-87%, depending on the fuel mix. However, a limiting factor might be two times greater land occupation than by the conventional process. Furthermore, the solar system has higher human toxicity-cancer (102%) and metals and minerals depletion (6%) due to the construction of solar facilities. Coupling conventional calcination with carbon capture and storage (CCS) is more efficient in reducing the climate change impact (63%) than the solar system (48%) relative to conventional calcination without CCS. However, adding CCS to the solar calciner would still be a better option, decreasing the impact by 81% relative to conventional calcination without CCS. These findings will be of interest to the solar and cement industries as well as other industrial sectors using hightemperature processes.
