Abstract

The present study examined the potential capacity of cement dust pollution on human health at Gharbanyyate district. The objective was prolonged to endorse specific herbal formulas (suggested solution) as supplements for decreasing the noxious consequences of the frequent heavy metals on human. Soil samples were collected from topsoil (0-30 cm) at various distance points around the cement factory and analyzed for some specific heavy metals. Control samples were taken opposite the wind direction 3200 m from the factory. This paper recognized certain divergent means by which these metals can be presented in the human body. An herbal assemblage (ABCOSTU; Arctium lappa, Berberis vulgaris, Coriandrum sativum, Olea europaea, Silybum marianum, Tribulus terrestris and Urtica dioica) was prepared in according to the kinds and categories of the different heavy metals concentrations. It was proved that soil pH fluctuated between 6.18 to 8.43 versus the controlled pH with value 6.11. The EC level as well as Cr and Cd significantly (p≤ 0.05) decreased with increasing distances from the factory. Assemblage of six continues months was applied and demonstrated a significant enhancement (p≤ 0.05) in the medical examined cases documented in the study areas. The study suggests a potential association between exposure to cement dust and an increased risk of some diseases including respiratory diseases as well stomach and rectal cancers. Instituting healthcare specialized sequences in these polluted areas are essential as an important portion in the plan of the sustainable development plan in order to rescue the affected rural communities.
