“…The observed APTI values for Ficusreligiosa and Mangiferaindica closely agrees with Avnish [19]. The APTI results obtained for Bambusabambos (3.48 -4.62) and Terminaliacatappa (5.28 -6.96) in the present study were lower when compared to that reported by Agbaire [20].…”

“…All combustion release gases and particles into the air. These can include sulphur and nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and soot particles, as well as smaller quantities or toxic metals, organic molecules and radioactive isotope (Agbaire and Esiefarienrhe, 2009). Environmental stress, such as air pollution, is among the factors most limiting plan productivity and survivorship (Woo et al, 2007).…”

The current study was done to examine the impact of ambient air pollution on some biological factors in Prosopis juliflora plants using two sites; control and polluted (around one of the oil fields in south west of Iran). Various morphological and biochemical characteristics of the plants were studied in both sites and compared with each other. Plants exposed to pollution showed lower leaf area, petiole length, chlorophylls, carotenoids and soluble carbohydrate contents as compared to plants growing in control site. Proline levels in polluted leaves significantly increased (p < 0.01), suggesting the activation of protective mechanism in these plants under air pollution stress, and also the observed responses are regarded as adaptive and compensative to the adverse effects of air pollution.

“…Results from biochemical analysis of plants revealed that higher ascorbic acid contents were recorded in Michelia champaca (7.31), followed by Ficus religiosa (6.98), Azadirachta indica (6.79), Polyalthia longifolia (6.42), Cassia siamea (6.19), Cassia fistula (6.09)) [19] showed a decrease in leaf ascorbic acid content in exposed Tibouchina pulchra samplings [25].…”

“…The plant samples were analyzed for different parameters within 24 hours of their harvesting. The leaf samples were analyzed for pH (P) of leaf extract [13], Chlorophyll (T), Ascorbic acid (A) [17] [18], and Relative Water Content (R) [19]. The APTI, an empirical value representing tolerance level of a Plant to air pollution, was used to interpret the impact of pollution on the plants [13].…”

It is well renowned that trees have capacity to reduce the air pollution. It is mandatory to expand tree plantation in industrial area to minimize the threat of pollutants. For green belt development, it is necessary to use plants that are tolerant to air pollution. The present study includes Air pollution tolerance index (APTI) of selected plant species with the help of biochemical analysis. On the basis of APTI and some other socioeconomic and biological parameters of plants, Anticipated Performance Index (API) was calculated. Out of twelve species, Ficus benghalensis showed to be the most efficient among others. As per classification of API, Ficus religiosa tree species is classified into the moderate category. Based on the APTI and API, appropriate plant species for green belt development in industrial area were identified and recommended for mitigating the pollution.
