Assessing Air Quality of Urban and Industrial Area A Review

In developing countries rapid industrialization, urbanization and vehicular traffic leads to the deterioration of air quality. It is an appropriate time for taking necessary step to check air pollution. Due to increase deforestation and pollution level in developing country, researchers need to find perfect plant species for plantation in polluted area. Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) and Anticipated performance index (API) are the green technologies to assess impact of air pollution on different plant species, to decrease the air pollution by growing high tolerant plants species near industries and road side, to indicate the air pollution by plants with high tolerance index and to develop the green belt. This kind of initiative is very imperative to optimize environmental problem especially in urban and industrial localities with the help of plants, selected on the basis of their APTI and API value.
