Abstract:

Plants are universal sink of carbon dioxide. Plantation of species along any road helps to trap air polluting dust and carbon dioxide. The plants are also negatively affected by the dust and gaseous emissions from vehicles. Because of industrialization in the Sambalpur region, the number of vehicles passing through National Highway-6 has grown significantly. This has been the root cause of high level air pollution. In response to this, a study was undertaken to evaluate the air pollutant tolerance level of some tree species present along the NH-6 between Ainthapali to Remed of Sambalpur township using Air Pollution Tolerance Index (APTI) approach.

Keywords:

Air pollution, Tree species, Sambalpur
