Atmospheric dust pollution was calculated for roadside Ficus bengalensis plant species around Nanded City. Studies were carried out to determine the physiological response of plant species in Nanded City.
The aim was to identify the air pollution tolerance of plant species. The leaf samples collected from the plant species were used to determine their dust pollution form selected sampling sites.

Zielsetzung und Themenschwerpunkte (Objectives and Key Themes)
This research investigates the impact of dust pollution from vehicular traffic and industrial activities on roadside vegetation in Nanded City, India. The study aims to identify plant species that are tolerant to air pollution, using dust accumulation on leaves as a bioindicator.
- Air pollution tolerance of plant species
- Dust pollution as a bioindicator of air quality
- Impact of vehicular traffic and industrial activities on dust accumulation
- Characterization of dust pollution in urban environments
- Potential control measures for mitigating dust pollution
Zusammenfassung der Kapitel (Chapter Summaries)
