Phytomonitoring of air pollution around brick kilns in urban area: Exploring the potential of plants for the remediation of pollutants

This study examines the impacts of various pollutants on foliar biochemical parameters, including relative water content (RWC), total chlorophyll, leaf extract pH, and ascorbic acid content, and their relationship with the Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI). RWC, a crucial indicator of plant resil...

Description
Summary:This study examines the impacts of various pollutants on foliar biochemical parameters, including relative water content (RWC), total chlorophyll, leaf extract pH, and ascorbic acid content, and their relationship with the Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI). RWC, a crucial indicator of plant resilience, showed a significant positive correlation with APTI values (r = 0.4503, p
