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.

Trees are biomonitors and sinks for air pollutants but better sinking ability comes from trees with high tolerance for air pollution. Consequently, this study investigated the Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and Anticipated Performance Index (API) of six dominant tree species around a scrap metal recycling factory in Ile-Ife, Southwest Nigeria. Biochemical and physiological parameters such as the relative water content, total chlorophyll, leaf extract pH and ascorbic acid content of the leaves of the selected tree species were determined and used to compute the APTI. The biological and socio-economic characters of each tree species were equally examined to determine the API. The APTI of the selected tree species during the dry season was in the N.laevis(11.8) >A.boonei(11.2) >S. siamea(11.0) >B. micrantha(10.8)> T. orientalis(10.6)> T. grandis(9.6). According to the API grading,N.laevisandA.booneiwere classified as “good” (62.5% each) tree species for greenbelt development for both dry and wet seasons, whileT.orientaliswas also classified as a “good” (62.5% each) tree species for greenbelt development for the wet season only. Native tree species such asN.laevis,A.booneiandT.orientalisexhibited better tolerance to gaseous pollutants and are recommended for biomonitoring environmental health and greenbelt establishment.

The air quality and global environment is immensely affected due to the industrial as well as urban expansion. The present study aims to identify the natural tolerance of six plant species towards the air pollution, which are growing along the Chembur industrial area of Mumbai. The plant’s air pollution tolerance level was identified by evaluating Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and Anticipated Performance Index (API). The estimation of APTI was done based on the measurement of physico-chemical parameters like pH, ascorbic acid, total chlorophyll content and the relative leaf water content of the fresh leaves of plant species grown along the industrial and non-industrial areas. The higher API values obtained for the Thespesia populnea (L.) Sol. excorrea, Polyalthia longifolia and Albizia saman (Jacq.) Merr plant species growing in the industrial zone indicate a good tolerance towards polluted air and hence are suggested for green zone development in the Chembur industrial area. The present work can be extended for the selection of the most air pollution tolerant plant species for the development of green zone along the industrial belt across the world. It will facilitate healthy atmosphere for the nearby population.
