Comparative study finds urban air pollution reduces leaf quality in plants, suggesting ecological implications.
This study investigates the impact of urban air pollution on plant leaf morphology and overall health by comparing samples from roadside (high pollution) and park (low pollution) environments. The findings indicate higher dust deposition, discoloration, and reduced leaf quality in polluted areas, affecting photosynthetic efficiency. This research highlights the ecological importance of air quality and urban greenery.
