Description
The infrared spectra of hazardous minerals in dust samples have been recorded in the region 4000–400 cm–1. The range ensures that most of the useful vibrations are active in the infrared spectra. The relative distributions of hazardous minerals are explained through the determination of extinction co-efficient. The obtained results made through the IR analysis are briefly discussed with various diseases. The cement dust samples have been analyzed by powder XRD. The conclusive remarks are also given.
