In measuring the fallout levels of particulate air pollutants harmfull to plant health, spectrophotometric method provided faster and more sensetive results than the other methods. This method was improved by exposing likid vaseline coated petri plates to the pollutant and measuring absorbance values at the spectrophotometer. By using this method, the fall out levels of cement kiln dust of Çorum Cement Factory was determined.
