Sinha and Shweta Singh1st ed.New York Nova Science Publishersc20101 online resource (81 p.)Air, water and soil pollution science and technologyDescription based upon print version of record.1-61668-147-0 Includes bibliographical references (p. [47]-55) and index.Plants combating air pollution -- Plants combating water pollution.Green plants work as a 'natural pollutant sink' on earth intercepting dust and pollutants from air and water. During photosynthesis, plants absorb CO2 and simultaneously other gases like oxides of sulphur & nitrogen (SO2 & NOx), ozone (O) and airborne ammonia (NH3) through their stomata. Plants also reduce air pollution by intercepting suspended particulate matters (SPM) and aerosols and retaining them on the leaf surface. Trees take up more pollutants including the particulate pollutants (PM10), than shorter vegetation.
