Abstract
Increase in demand for cement has been created as a result of rapid industrialization. Cement production is not without its environmental pollution problems. The pollutants released in a cement industry include oxides of nitrogen, and sulphur, and particulates and volatile organic compounds. Elevated particulate concentrations in conjunction with oxides of sulphur is responsible for rises in respiratory tract diseases. To easily predict maximum ground level particulate concentrations in the atmosphere,models have been generated in this work. Six models having coefficient of determination (r2) values ranging between 0.9735 to 0.9976 have been developed for a range of weather conditions for predicting maximum ground level particulate concentrations as a function pf chimney height.Keywords: particulates, cement industry, maximum ground level concentration, gaussian plume model Global Journal of Environmental Sciences Vol. 4(2) 2005: 147-149
