Efect of Lime Kiln’s AIr Pollution on Some Horticulture Plant Species

Key Points

• Air pollution from lime kilns negatively affects the health of horticulture plant species, and thus agricultural yield can decrease.
• Overall health of the plants declined due to increased exposure to pollutants, including particulate matter and gases.
• Observational analysis uncovered the relationship between air quality and viability of key plant species, establishing a clear link between them.
• These findings may enable better management practices in agricultural areas affected by industrial emissions, highlighting the need for stricter regulations.
