India's environmental problems are progressively worsening. The environment can be harmed by a variety of gases and microscopic particles. Near highways, quarries, cement plants, and industrial plants, dust pollution has a localised effect. The level of plant damage induced by fine dust depositions. Physiological processes are frequently overlooked. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of quarry dust and cement dust on selected trees growing near quarries and Panyam cements in Bethamcherla, Kurnool district, and to determine their air pollution tolerance indices by calculating the PH, relative water content, ascorbic acid content, and total chlorophyll content of leaf samples collected at those study sites. Furthermore, to select plants that are ideal for growing in contaminated regions in order to build a green belt. At both research sites, Azadirachta indica Juss, Ficus benghalensis L., Holoptelea integrifolia Roxb., and Terminalia catappa L. have showed a significant percentage rise in APTI. These four plant species may be suitable for growing in places where cement dust and quarry dust are present.
