Abstract:
Sixteen ornamental species were assessed for their, dust capturing capacity in five different polluted locations. Two seasons sampling was done in pre-monsoon and post-monsoon respectively to study their seasonal variations. According to the Dust capturing capacity values, Conocarpus erectus, Spathodea campanulata, Rhoeo spathacea, Codiaeum variegatum were recorded as the plants having the best dust capturing capacity. So these species can be recommended for the heavy traffic, commercial and industrial areas for greenbelt development.
