“…Larcher [ 40 ] also suggested that air pollutant i.e., SO 2 , NO X may lower the leaf pH and induce early stomatal closure. Pratibha et al [ 41 ], envisaged that enhanced pH of leaf extract may be helpful to enhance the tolerance limits of plants species against air pollutants.…”

“…Plant organisms are widely known for their phytoremedial and phytoindicative properties, and their ability to exhibit wide ecological plasticity in accordance with the genetically programmed capabilities of the reaction norm [14,15]. A large number of publications are devoted to the study of indicative parameters of the vital state of plants in conditions of anthropogenic pollution [16][17][18].…”

On the analysis basis of Ukraine fuel and energy complex priority problems, the key role of the introduction of international standards ISO 14000, ISO 9000 series and HSE policy to create conditions for the prevention of technological effects on environmental components and the formation of prerequisites for a safe environment, both for personnel and for the population of the surrounding territories, are determined. Deterioration of natural resources quality and ecosystems degradation and possible levels of natural environments pollution are used as parameters for environmental risk assessing in the conditions of the fuel and energy complex operation. The concept of environmental risk management in this field is presented. The biomonitoring uses to assess the factors influence of the industry enterprises is proposed. Biomonitoring of the territory around the Burshtyn thermal power plant is carried out, taxonomic characteristics of phytoobjects are given, and the indicative prospects of plants, their diversity and classes of permanence are evaluated. A literature analysis is carried out regarding the convenience, ease of use and phytoindicative suitability of plants under the conditions of the man-made environment complex impact. The highest species representativeness in Asteraceae family, represented by 17 species, Fabaceae and Poaceae – by 5 plant species, is established within the study area. The highest phytoindicative potential of Cichorium intybus L. and Achillea millefolium L. under the influence of Burshtyn thermal power station is revealed, which indicates the possibility of effective use of these plants as sensitive monitors of the fuel and energy complex enterprises ecological state.

The grim status of India’s air quality is commonly attributed to alarming levels of particulate matter (PM). This has led to the government formulating several strategies to control PM in the country. For example, the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP) was launched in 2019 to reduce 30% PM concentrations by 2024 in nonattainment cities (NACs). However, studies across the world found these PM-centric action plans to be detrimental to ozone-related air quality. The present study is among the first few investigations that employ the Weather Research and Forecasting coupled with Chemistry (WRF-Chem) model to comprehensively understand the effect of the NCAP on PM and ozone in India. In the 2024 business-as-usual scenario, while 50% of NACs have deteriorating PM2.5 levels, all but 32% of other NACs meet the Indian National Ambient Air Quality Standards (INAAQS) with the NCAP. The NACs that violated the INNAQS are mainly situated in the Indo-Gangetic Plain. For ozone, with the implementation of the NCAP, 80% of NACs meet the INAAQS. This reduction in ozone is attributed to the indicator ratio of formaldehyde to oxides of nitrogen (HCHO/NOy), indicating that the Indian region is volatile organic compound-limited (VOC-limited), and thereby, reduction in nitrogen oxides and VOC emissions results in a decrease in ozone. Further, another reason can be the increase in forest cover as a part of the NCAP, which has increased ozone deposition velocity by ∼10.5%. This study indicates that the current action plans of India, if implemented successfully, can also alleviate the problem of secondary pollutants like ozone, saving around 12% of lives.
