A Review of Air Pollution Mitigation Approach Using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and Anticipated Performance Index (API)

Air pollution is a global environmental issue, and there an urgent need for sustainable remediation techniques. Thus, phytoremediation has become popular approach to air remediation. This paper reviewed 28 eco-friendly indigenous plants based on both the tolerance index (APTI) anticipated performance (API), using level indices evaluate potential of most plant species control. The estimated APTI ranged from 4.79 (Syzygium malaccense) 31.75 (Psidium guajava) among studied plants. One selected tolerant, seven (7) are intermediate with their in following order: Psidium guajava (31.75) > Swietenia mahogany (28.08) Mangifera indica L. (27.97) Ficus infectoria (23.93) religiosa (21.62) Zizyphus Oenoplia Mill (20.06) Azadirachta A. Juss. (19.01) benghalensis (18.65). Additionally, API value indicated that ranges best good performer; excellent moderate performers; Cassia fistula poor very performer Pearson correlation shows positive between (R2 = 0.63), this implies increase increases vice versa.
