“…I. sanguinea showed a significant difference in wax content (Table 3) by PM sources, but the mean was 2-3 times higher in treatment, implying that wax content and wPM10 of I. sanguinea may have affected each other. In general, sPM is higher than wPM in many studies (Przybysz et al, 2014: Popek et al, 2017: Bui et al, 2021. However, in a study by Przybysz et al (2014), wPM was higher than sPM in Pinus sylvestris in February when there is much rainfall, and there was more wax content than other seasons as well.…”

“…Zhang et al (2020) reported that PM capturing capacity of plants, air pollution tolerance index (APTI), and antioxidant systems can be used as indicators to select suitable plant species in green belt construction. Bui et al (2021) compared the accumulative amount of PM and APTI with 11 species of woody plants and reported that Pinus strobus showed the highest PM accumulation and APTI, whereas Cercis chinensis showed the lowest.…”

Background and objective Particulate matter (PM) has a serious impact on health. Recently, studies are conducted to reduce PM in an environmentally friendly way using plants. This study investigated the physiological responses of plants and their ability to remove PM by continuously spraying different PM sources (loam, fly ash, carbon black) to four native plant species, such as <italic>Iris sanguinea</italic>, <italic>Pteris multifida</italic>, <italic>Vitis coignetiae</italic>, and <italic>Viburnum odoratissimum</italic> var. <italic>awabuki</italic>. Methods The four plant species were randomly placed in four chambers, and 0.1 g of different PM was injected into each chamber twice a week. We measured chlorophyll, carotenoid, chlorophyll fluorescence (Fv/Fm), total leaf area, amount of leaf wax, PM10 (sPM10) and PM2.5 (sPM2.5) on the leaf surface, and PM10 (wPM10) and PM2.5 (wPM2.5) on the wax layer. Results For <italic>I. sanguinea</italic> and <italic>V. coignetiae</italic>, the sources of PM did not affect the growth response. <italic>P. multifida</italic> showed high chlorophyll a, b, total chlorophyll, and carotenoid content in carbon black as well as high Fv/Fm and total leaf area, thereby proving that carbon black helped plant growth. By PM sources, sPM10 showed a significant difference in three plant species, sPM2.5 in two plant species, and wPM10 in one plant species, indicating that sPM10 was most affected by PM sources. Conclusion Carbon black increased the leaf area by affecting the growth of <italic>P. multifida</italic>. This plant can be effectively used for PM reduction by increasing the adsorption area. <italic>I. sanguinea</italic> and <italic>V. coignetiae</italic> can be used as economical landscaping plants since they can grow regardless of PM sources.

The article presents an overview of research conducted in recent years, i.e., from 2004 until now. The study has been prompted by the threat of drought over large land areas which, as a result of current climate change, may lead to desertification in dry and hot regions of the world. For the same reason, large areas of farmland are affected by drought stress. At the same time, rising air temperatures result in a significant intensification of evaporation and a gradual increase in soil salinity. This applies in particular to acres of farmland, forested areas, and green areas of cities, as well as degraded land or brownfields. As the crop stability is threatened, the food base of the world’s population is at risk and, additionally, in areas of industrial districts, people’s health is in decline. Due to these multistress conditions for plant growth, we propose a review of the current literature which addresses the possibility of counteracting these unfavorable phenomena through the appropriate selection of plant species and, when only applicable, also through specific agroecological treatments. A selection of herbaceous and woody plants useful for cultivation on saline marginal lands was proposed.

Amplified traffic is one of the main factors that increase particulate matter (PM) in the air. Green plants play an important role in reducing PM from the air. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of traffic pollution on three vegetable crops (Lactuca sativa L., Eruca sativa L. Cav., and Brassica oleracea var. capitata f. alba) cultivated on roadside at El-Bajour city, Menoufia governorate Egypt. Some physiological and biochemical parameters such as chlorophyll, total carbohydrates, protein, phenolics, flavonoids, reducing power, lipid peroxidation some antioxidant enzymes and heavy metals were determined in these plants. Results showed a significant difference (according to the studied biochemical parameters) between the samples affected by traffic pollution compared to control. The variation in the studied parameters in the leaves and root were found to be pollution load dependent and can be used as indicators of air pollution stress or as a marker for physiological damage to crops prior to the onset of visible injury symptoms.
