environmental pollution consists of different types of pollutants in air, soil, and water. due to the fact that plants can respond to environmental pollution, they can be used as bio-indicators for environmental monitoring. air pollution in areas with oil and gas refineries nearby is an important problem. this study aims to survey the effects of gas refinery air pollutants on conocarpus erectus...

Emissions from motor vehicle exhausts have been shown to have deleterious effects on the physiology of plant species. Our present study focuses on evaluating the tolerance and sensitivity of selected plant species viz. Dracaena deremensis (good absorber of VOCs) and Dianthus caryophyllus (susceptible to ethylene and formaldehyde (VOCs)) at selected sites which are differentiated on the basis of...

Higher concentration of SO2 and particulate matters was reported in surrounding areas of coal-fired industries which influences the distribution pattern of plants. Sensitive plant species are abolished from such areas, however, only pollution tolerant species survive under stress conditions. The present study was designed to investigate the vegetation composition around coal-fired industries i....

Background: Air pollution is a threat to the environment. Sources of air pollutants in urban environments can be form dust, heavy metals, and hydrocarbons. Plants help clean from atmosphere by absorption through stomata, accumulating them, or adsorption on leaf surface. The Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) used as an evaluation benchmark for Physiological conditions plants exposed pollution. Th...

To develop the usefulness of plants as bioindicators requires an appropriate selection of plant species which entail an utmost importance for a particular situation. In the present study a periodic evaluation of air pollution tolerance index [APTI] of selected tree species such as Polyalthia longifolia, (Sonner) Thw., Alstonia scholaris, R. Br., Mangifera indica, L., and shrubs Clerodendron inf...

Background: To identify the plant species tolerance levels in an industrial area by assessing Anticipated Performance Index (API) and Air Pollution Tolerance (APTI) to establish a green belt area. Methods: A survey on local was conducted around study areas. Seventeen were chosen for evaluation of tolerant based their occurrence dominance Standard methods applied estimation biochemical parameter...

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...
