Abstract

Dust, which is thought to have originated from a cement factory in California, was characterized and studied for its effect on trees, plants, and property values in the area. The effects on plants and trees were determined to be primarily mechanical; i.e., prevention of gas exchange due to clogging of stomata. Removal of the dust by rainfall was negligible due to seasonal drought; frequent fogs tended to set or fix the dust, forming a crust. Market values and salability of land has been influenced by the excess of dust and the market for otherwise fine table grapes limited.
