| Abstract: | An infrared absorption method has been used to identify the minerals in dust collected from some parts of Coimbatore, Coimbatore
district, Tamil Nadu without grinding. The KBr pellet technique was employed. The results obtained from the IR spectra show
the presence of quartz, asbestos, kaolinite, calcite, haematite, montmorllonite, nacrite and coal. The hazardous effect of
inhalation of these minerals are explained. The results show Pollachi main road is more contaminated with hazardous minerals. |
