Abstract

Gaseous and industrial air pollution is a serious problem throughout the world. It affects human health and plants also face negative impact on their biochemical processes, ultimately exhibited in terms of reduction in various growth parameters. The effect of air pollution is being felt even in remote areas, because pollutants can be transported over long distances. It is well known that plants absorbs gaseous/particulate pollutants and help in controlling air pollution. In order to test Holoptelea integrifolia L. as an effective and natural means for controlling air pollution present studies were undertaken. It was observed that the tree species tolerate well various pollutants present in the air, so can be used as an efficient method for minimizing of concentration pollutants to a safer level into the environment.
