1. INTRODUCTION AND LITERATURE REVIEW Dusts refer to suspended fine and tiny particles in the air which occur naturally in volcanic eruption, wind and earthquake or artificially caused by man and animals. The man-made sources are textiles, paper fibres, decomposed hairs, skin flakes and dust mites. It can be found on the road, industries, atmosphere, buildings and homes. It can be referred to as dust pollution when it is a primary pollutant. Air pollution is the introduction of a pollutant or a contaminant in the atmosphere and the environment. The negative impacts of dusts are death and diseases to man, damage to plants, damage to natural environment and alteration of the ecosystems. Ecosystem is the interaction and relationship between man, …show more content…

Most scientist also adopted only the scientific methods without designing new working tools that can eliminate dust pollution. The two newly designed unbranded machines would be used to tackle the dust hazard perfectly. 2. METHODS 2.1. METHOD (PART A): This method is called “dust sample characterization”. Dust samples collected from air and ground were used for this experiment which gave same results. The RIGAKU XRD equipment was used to hit series of x-ray light on the dust sample in order to detect its mineralogical contents and compounds present in the dust. The present compound synchronized in its unique diffraction pattern (crystal nature) after different intensified diffraction rays hit it. 2.2. EXPERIMENTAL (PART A) At different concentrations, many curves were obtained with one having the highest peak. The curve with the highest peak on the intensity axis was used to trace the present compound which synchronizes with a unique crystalline lattice and lattice spacing. Sodium Nitrate NaNO3 (Nitratine) compound was detected (Figure 1, 2, 3, 4 and
