Public Health Wales announced the study yesterday after calling on local residents to share their health concerns about the cement works.
Local press reported that the study will include a review of cancer rates, respiratory disease and other related conditions.
A review of what chemicals are used on the plant, dust levels, noise, smells and legal emission levels will also be undertaken together with an environmental information study. A plan of action was agreed at a community meeting earlier this month.
