The Potential Of Biomonitoring of Air Quality using leaf Characteristics of Allamanda cathartica, Filicium decipiens, Mussaenda erythrophylla and Syzygium campanulatum

Air pollution is major hazards that disturb the plant growth and development. The major sources of air pollution in urban areas specifically are from increase of traffic and rapid growth of industrial and residential area. The high level of traffic area was selected as a polluted habitat (P) and the...
