The Pollen of Plants of the Shrub Layer in the Urban Green Space as an Indicator of the State of Atmospheric Air of the City (on the Example of Representatives of the Genus Forsythia)

It is especially important to assess the potential mutagenicity of air environment in area active life and human respiration. In our opinion, perennial shrub plants are most informative objects such research. Purpose. Study sensitivity male haploid generation Forsythia suspensa Vahl. state atmospheric Kyiv surface layer; prospects using this species indicate quality possible risks public health. Methods. Fields, statistical. The generative sphere F. suspense was determined by fertility morphometric parameters pollen, determination index shape proportion abnormal grains population non-hydrated pollen. Results. established that pollen sensitive a complex exogenous factors growing park ecosystems Kyiv. statistical significance influence plant weather conditions on variability traits its sizes has been confirmed. There greater pollutants layer size equatorial diameter species. Introduction restrictive anti-epidemic measures 2020 2021 reduced level integrated pollution studied areas capital. These changes environment, absence developed network highways, affected share populations areas. Conclusions. expediency further use toxic-mutagenic background zoning gradient anthropogenic impact noted. Complementing results bioindication studies using, particular, information health data increases effectiveness indicating
