Studies on the Impact of Automobile Exhaust Emissions (From Vehicles using Diesel and Petrol) on Chlorophyll Content and Leaf Biomass of Lemon
Abstract: AbstractAir quality is getting poor day by day due to air pollution. Automobile exhaust pipe emission has been a major contributor to the problem of air pollution in the present scenario. This study was aimed for observing the effects of exhaust pipe emissions on chlorophyll, which is the most important plant pigment. Lemon plants were given exposure to exhaust emissions from vehicles using fuel types in open top chambers for …

Potential of Duckweed (Lemna minor) for Removal of Lead from Wastewater by Phytoremediation
Abstract: This investigation was undertaken to study lead (Pb) uptake by small free floating aquatic plant Lemna minor from wastewater polluted with heavy metals. Metal accumulation process was affected by various parameters such as different pH, temperature and concentration of Pb solution. Total chlorophyll content in Lemna minor was adversely affected which was dependent on Pb concentrations. The plant was adversely affected by pH 6 more than by pH 7 or …
