Atmospheric and Climate Sciences, 2012, 2, 52-59 /10.4236/acs.2012.21007 Published Online January 2012 (http://www.SciRP.org/journal/acs) Assessment of Distribution and Composition of Quarry Mine Dust: Case of Pomona Stone Quarries, Harare Emaculate Madungwe , Tinashe Mukonzvi * Department of Environmental Science, Bindura University of Science Education, Bindura, Zimbabwe Email: immacforever@yahoo.co.uk * Received August 18, 2011; revised September 29, 2011; accepted October 18, 2011 ABSTRACT The study aimed at assessing the distribution and composition of dust produced at Pomona Stone Quarry mine in Harare, Zimbabwe. The source contribution to ambient PM2.5 and PM10 dust levels were quantified and their spatial distribution from the quarry to the receptor (community). The study also analysed the pH of soils around the mine, SiO2 and Al2O3 levels in quarry dust. Data was collected through direct observations, personal communications, experiments, soil and dust sampling and analyses. Dust sampling was done in January, April and August, to assess the effect of meteorologi- cal conditions on dust concentrations in two phases. Phase 1 was conducted during plant shut down (baseline measure- ments) while phase 2 was carried out during full plant operations (normal operating conditions), to assess the effect of quarry operations on the surrounding areas. Within the quarry production processes, crushing stage was the most dust emitting stage. Phase 1 dust results showed that both respirable (PM ) and inhalable (PM10) dust at all stages were be- 2.5 low the legal limit, thus below 35 mg/m halable and 69.01 mg/m respirable) were recorded in August, followed by April (206.9 mg/m respirable) then January (206.82 mg/m inhalable and 65.27 mg/m respirable). At all stages, highest dust con- centrations for both parameters were recorded near the plant and decreased with increasing distance from the plant ( ranging from 209.9
