Leaf dust accumulation and its heavy metal status in selected plant species growing alongside the road in sub-temperate condition of Himachal Pradesh during different season
Abstract:This study reports dust fall deposition on foliar surfaces of plant species i.e., Toona ciliata, Ficus palmata and Grewia optiva. In relation with its impact on biochemical constituents and surfaces morphology of the foliar. Order of selected plant species according to the dust accumulation was Toona ciliata (31.17 mg m -2 ) > Ficus palmata (19.00 mg m -2 ) > Grewia optiva (11.50 mg m -2 ). The concentration of heavy metals namely cadmium, copper, iron, lead and zinc in the leaf dust was in the range of 0.015 … Show more
