Effect of ambient air sulphur dioxide on sulphate accumulation in plants.

چکیده
Present study deals with the relationship between ambient air sulphurdioxide and sulphate content in leaf of selected tropical plant species, Ficus religiosa. The study reveals a positive correlation between ambient air sulphur dioxide and sulphate in the leaves. Two way ANOVA finds the obtained values to be highly significant (p < 0.001). Amount of sulphate in leaves shows positive correlation with sulphur dioxide in air (p < 0.001) during most part of the study A marked reduction of sulphate content in leaf was found during October when reduction in ambient air sulphur dioxide was recorded.

In this investigation, the performance of a tower for absorption of sulphur dioxide gas into calcium carbonate solution has been studied. The trays had no downcomer and the tower itself was a scaled down pilot from industrial equipment. The industrial scale tower was used for clean up of 110000 m3/hr gas using 40 m3/hr alkaline solution. The study was composed of two parts. In the first section...

Though sulphur has long been recognized as an essential element in plants, particularly as a constituent of the proteins, it has not received much consideration in fertilizer studies. As shown by the work of HART and PETERSON (3), this was partly due to the older practice of determining sulphur in the ash of vegetation, which gave low results and did not indicate the true sulphur needs of the p...

During the late sixties and seventies the city of Rijeka underwent second rapid industrialization. Few huge plants (new petroleum refinery facilities, power plant, coke plant) were erected in the industrial zone eastwards from the city. As a consequence, high emission levels resulted in elevated ambient air pollution so that the city was one of the most polluted in Croatia during the mid-eighti...

OBJECTIVE To examine the role that ambient air pollution plays in exacerbating cardiovascular disease hospitalization in Windsor, Ontario. METHODS The number of daily cardiac hospital admissions was obtained from all Windsor hospitals from April 1, 1995 to December 31, 2000 and linked to concentrations of ambient air pollutants and weather variables. The logarithm of daily counts of hospitali...

Sulphur dioxide (SO2) is one of the major atmospheric contaminant that induces negatively effects in the cellular biochemistry and physiology of the plants. However, Rhizobium inoculation can cause increas in plant resistance to abiotic and biotic stresses. In this study, effects of different concentrations of Sulphur dioxide gas (0, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 ppm) on photosynthetic pigments, proline, p...
