- Abstract
The article studies the foliar traits in the commonly occurring plants of Nagpur, India, from urban, industrial and non-polluted area. Observations were made on the anatomy and biochemical makeup of plant species to facilitate comparison with reasonable validity to the generalizations made based on this data. The data on the ambient air quality status and climatic features during the study period was also collected, to study their impact on the biochemical foliar traits of the plants. The vegetation of Nagpur City is exposed to dust pollution and chronic concentration of gaseous pollutants, which may affect the biochemical make up, and tolerance capability of plants to the air pollution.
