Atmospheric pollution could significantly alter tree growth independently and synergistically with meteorological conditions. North China offers a natural experiment for studying how plant growth responds to air pollution under different meteorological conditions, where rapid economic growth has...

As a result of the activity of industrial enterprises, atmospheric air is being contaminated by gaseous pollutants. Such substances as chlorine and hydrogen chloride are considered to be harmful for both humans and plants. Vegetation is a universal filter that is able to combat the environmental ...

Several studies show that the interaction between airborne pollutants and pollen grains can lead to greater pollen allergenicity, and thus increase and exacerbate the incidence of pollinosis, all of which represents a major public health problem. This article analyses the possible influence of...

Lots of highly concentrated saline organic wastewater is produced during the pymetrozine production process, causing environmental pollution and waste of resources if discharged directly. Research on actual pymetrozine wastewater treatment is quite scarce. Existing treatment methods of pesticide...

This study investigated the air pollution tolerance of poplar (Liriodendron), eucalyptus (Camaldulensis), orange (Citrus aurantium) and sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) present along Katlang Road in District Mardan, Pakistan with heavy vehicular traffic. The plant species were analyzed for...

The molecular weight distribution and composition of organic pollutants from chemi-mechanical pulping waste liquor was studied using ultra-filtration, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. The concentration of dissolved chemical organic compounds was...

Chlorendic acid is a recalcitrant, highly chlorinated organic pollutant for which no microbial degrader has yet been identified. To address this knowledge gap, fungi were isolated from bulk soil, rhizosphere, and roots of the common bent (Agrostis capillaris) and the hybrid poplar [Populus...

Plants can absorb nearly all the chemicals present in the environment in large or small quantities. Chemical inputs as a result of industrial emissions accumulate primarily in the leaves of woody plants. This study compares the metal content of cleaned and dirty leaves of balsam poplar (Populus...

Pollen grains emitted by urban vegetation are the main primary biological airborne particles (PBAPs) which alter the biological quality of urban air and have a significant impact on human health. This work analyses the interactions which exist between pollen-type PBAPs, meteorological variables,...

Vegetation establishment in urban areas is a potential solution to combat elevated particulate matter (PM) pollution, create cleaner environment for residents and enhance the sustainability of cities. However, vegetation effect at the points of interest in street-canyon on traffic pollutant from...
