Key Points

  • The research aims to investigate how urban air pollution affects leaf morphology and plant health.
  • Comparative analysis of leaf samples from high pollution (roadside) and low pollution (park) areas.
  • Assessment of dust deposition levels on leaves.
  • Evaluation of leaf discoloration and overall quality.
  • Measurement of photosynthetic efficiency.
  • Higher dust deposition observed in polluted roadside areas.
  • Significant discoloration and reduced leaf quality noted in high pollution samples.
  • Decreased photosynthetic efficiency linked to air pollution impact.

Abstract

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.
