Role of Medicinal Plant in Controlling Environmental (air) Pollution

The role of plants in developing a healthy atmosphere is very desirable in the context of deteriorating environment resulting from increased urbanization, industrialization and improper environmental management. This investigation has attempted to screen plants for their ability to improve the design and development of healthy environment. It is necessary that plants used must be tolerant to air pollution. In this study,dust removal capacities and Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) of plants commonly used for green belt establishment. On the basis of APTI and some biological parameters of plants study of different medicinal plant will be discussed at this paper.
