A STUDY ON AIR POLLUTION TOLERANCE INDEX (APTI) AND ANTICIPATED PERFORMANCE INDEX (API) OF SOME PLANTS

Due to industrialization, urbanization and increasing number of vehicles air pollution has turn out be serious problem today. Now a days particulate matter shows the undesirable effects on plants, animals human beings also. Tree plantation programme is best ways control pollution. Most plants filter by their aerial elements. Vegetation naturally cleanses atmosphere absorbing gases some matters through leaves so they work as sink for reduce level in atmosphere. Leaves function an efficient pollutant trapping device. Air can directly affects via or indirectly soil acidification. tolerance index (APTI) intrinsic quality trees problems. The higher are towards used source indicator rate By combining biochemical aggregate factors anticipated performance (API) prepared which development green belt. Thus, assessment APTI API potential different
