Abstract:

Phenols are secondary metabolites, an important chemical constituent of plants. Phenolics are chemically diverse group of substances having various functions in plants. Nowadays air pollution has become a hot topic of research and discussion due to its global effects. Increased population, Industrialization, deforestation, dependency on automobiles all these factors act as cause of air pollution.

Keywords:

Phenol, Air pollution, Plants. Resistance mechanism. .
