Abstract (2. Language): 
Industrial development is one of inevitable necessities of human life. Therefore, rising number of industrial units means the production and entry of various pollutants to the surrounding production process and sometimes miles away or even other parts of our planet. Notably, along with the updated industries and accessories, industry-related pollution control systems and monitoring and measuring equipment have also been updated because human beings always require a clean and free from impurity for living. Suspended particles are one of major pollutants emitted from various resources especially cement plants. Considering the multiplicity of cement plants in Iran, dust and its adverse effects on environment, human, animals, and plants and the concerns of Iran's Environmental Protection Agency in terms of cement plant suspended particles are of great importance. This article aimed to investigate the level of suspended particle emission of five plants namely Khash, Khuzestan, Soufian, Bojnord, and Saveh Cement Plant, located in different five geographical and climatological locations. Considering the use of dust collector systems such as electro filter, filter bag, and bag house, suspended particles are expected to be in line with the environmental standards or even less. According to the results of modeling output suspended particles and field measurement validation, the average of suspended particles, considering the climatic conditions and sustainable climatic conditions, was 8 and 31.5μg/m3 at 6476-m and 31.5-m distance from the flue foot.
