Mitigation of air pollution is the major global challenge in the current world. Quality of air is undergoing continuous deterioration due to industrial and urban development. The present study aims at the seasonal investigation of air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index (API) of six commonly found plant species namely Ziziphus jujube (S1), Pithecellobium dulce (Sw.) DC (S2), Celosia argentea L. (S3), Ricinus communis L. (S4), Apluda mutica L. (S5) and Terminalia catappa L. (S6) growing along the industrial area (Chembur) of Mumbai. The air pollution tolerance indices were evaluated by using pH, ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll content, the relative water content in the fresh leaves of plant species growing along the industrial and non-industrial area of Mumbai. The API was determined on combining the APTI values of the plant species with their biological and socio-economic parameters. The APTI of all the industrial zone plant species was found to be higher than the non-industrial zone plant species in all the three seasons. The rise in the mean of the three season's APTI of S1, S2, S3, S4, S5 and S6 plant species from the polluted industrial zone over the lesspolluted non-industrial zone was found to be 60.14, 76.59, 71.98, 82.30, 71.12, 65.52%, respectively. The higher API values obtained for the Pithecellobium dulce (Sw.) DC, Ricinus communis L. and Terminalia catappa L. plant species from polluted zone indicated higher air pollution tolerance and hence are recommended for green belt expansion in the Chembur industrial area. Terminalia catappa L. is an evergreen plant which can be planted in large number to develop green zone throughout the year around the Chembur industrial area. Similar studies can be performed globally to increase green zones around any industrial or residential area which will provide healthy living for the next generations on the earth.

“…The pH was determined according to the method of Adamsab et al (2011). 5 g of the fresh leaves were homogenised in 50 ml deionised water, and was filtered with a Whatman 42 filter paper and the pH of the leaf extract was determined after calibrating pH meter (Model PHS -3B) with buffer solution of pH 4 and 9.…”

Abstract:The study assessed the biochemical parameters, sensitivity and tolerance levels to air pollution of the leaves of selected tree species along major roads in Ile-Ife in order to determine the tree species that will be most suitable in developing greenbelts along roadsides. The air pollution tolerance index (APTI) ranged from 8.5 to 13.9 for the entire tree species studied with Gmelina arborea, Polyalthia longifolia, Mangifera indica, Terminalia catappa and Tectona grandis having the highest during the wet season, and Polyalthia longifolia with the APTI in the dry season. Newbouldia laevis, Spondias mombin, Gliricidia sepium, Senna siamea, Psidium guajava and Anacardium occidentale, Albizia zygia were classified as tree species sensitive to air pollution during both dry and wet seasons. With reference to the API grading, Mangifera indica, Tectona grandis, Gmelina arborea with percentage grading of 62.5% were classified as 'good' greenbelt performers. Anacardium occidentale, Terminalia catappa, Spondias mombin, Newbouldia laevis, Senna siamea, Polyalthia longifolia with percentage grading of 56.25%, each, were classified as 'moderate' performers while Gliricidia sepium (50%), Psidium guajava (50%) and Albizia zygia (43.75%) were classified as 'poor' performers for bio-indicators of air pollution. The study concluded that Gmelina arborea, Tectona grandis and Mangifera indica were good biomonitors for greenbelt development. Urban air pollution control 41

Air pollution due to vehicular emissions has become one of the most serious problems in the whole world and has resulted in huge threat to both the environment and the health of living organisms (plants, humans, animals, microorganisms). Plants growing along the roadsides get affected at the maximum as they are the primary recipients to different air pollutants and show varied levels of tolerance and sensitivity. Taking this into account, the present work was based on assessment of seasonal variation in air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index (API) of four roadside plants, namely, Alstonia scholaris, Nerium oleander, Tabernaemontana coronaria, and Thevetia peruviana belonging to family Apocynaceae. APTI was calculated by the determination of four important biochemical parameters, viz., pH, relative water content (RWC), total chlorophyll (TChl), and ascorbic acid (AsA) content of leaves. The leaf samples were collected from plants growing at seven different sites of Amritsar (Punjab), India, for pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons. Highest APTI (82.14) was reported in N. oleander during the pre-monsoon season while the lowest was recorded in T. coronaria (18.59) in the post-monsoon season. On the basis of API score, A. scholaris was anticipated to be an excellent performer during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons followed by N. oleander, T. coronaria, and T. peruviana. Linear regression analysis and Pearson's correlation coefficient depicted significant positive correlation between APTI and ascorbic acid content during the pre-monsoon and post-monsoon seasons.
