Dust pollution can be caused by any form of dirt like near roads, quarries, cement works and other industrial areas. This type of pollution apart from screening out sunlight blocks the stomata and lowers their conductance to CO2, simultaneously interfering with photosystem II and thus curtails photosynthesis.
