Pollution is the most alarming issue related to the
environment. The content of the leaf's photosynthetic pigments, such as
chlorophyll and carotenoids, decreases as a result of exposure to these
pollutants, which has an impact on plant production. The influence of vehicular
pollutants produced by automobiles on the chlorophyll leaf content has been
investigated in the current study via comparative research. The leaves samples
Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Cassia tora, Bougainvillea spectrabilis, Lantana camera,
Tacoma stans, and Cassia auriculata were gathered from areas with potentially
greater vehicular pollution. Chlorophyll a and Chlorophyll b photosynthetic
pigments were estimated. A decrease in the plant leaves’ photosynthetic
pigments in areas with greater pollution levels as compared to areas without
pollution.
