Air pollution, Bio monitoring, Plant galls

Air pollution is a much bigger issue than any other type of pollution as it has a higher impact of trans national dispersion of pollutants in the entire world. It is been well established that air pollution has a larger impact on the plant species globally. This serious problem should be deeply studied in order to control. There are many systems and models present to identify and address this issues but they are not effective. Plants are one such immense source to address this problem as they are widely present and also sensitive to identify. APTI studies hence helps to find out the ability of the plant species, whether it is sensitive, or intermediate or tolerant towards air pollution. Galls are structures formed by plants as a result of interaction with other organisms such as aphids, nematodes, mites, bacteria fungi and viruses. Some studies show that these gall formations gets altered even due to environmental factors such as Air pollution and seasonal changes. There are numerous studies done in medicinal aspects of galls, but consequently, galls cannot be only limited to the medicinal uses they perhaps also are extensively used to observe environmental issues such as air pollution. This study aims in bringing the bio monitoring aspects of galls of Pongamia pinnata L.Pierre. Results show that galled leaves decrease in Chlorophyll in high pollution zone and with increase in pH, Relative Water Content and Ascorbic acid.
