Bio-monitoring of uban air quality using anatomical and chemical features of leaf

This study has evaluated the changes of leafs morphological and chemical properties due to environmental pollution. Four trees species namely F. microcarpa, C. iners, S. campanulatum and M elengi were used in this study.A total of 80 plants were randomly collected at UNIMAS and Kuching city. Fresh l...
