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. This book presents new and significant research in the role of plants in protecting the environment. 410 0$aAir, water and soil pollution science and technology series. 606 $aPollution 606 $aHerbaceous plants$xEnvironmental aspects 606 $aWater$xPurification$xBiological treatment 606 $aAir$xPurification 606 $aAir quality management 615 0$aPollution. 615 0$aHerbaceous plants$xEnvironmental aspects. 615 0$aWater$xPurification$xBiological treatment. 615 0$aAir$xPurification. 615 0$aAir quality management. 676 $a363.73/6 700 $aSinha$b Rajiv K$g(Rajiv Kumar)$01868830 701 $aSingh$b Shweta$01086659 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910965509103321 996 $aGreen plants and pollution$94476863 997 $aUNINA
