Abstract
Exhaust gases from automobiles contribute significantly to atmospheric pollution. This paper provides information on the effect of automobile emission on a few wild dicotyledonous plants growing along roads with much traffic. There is a close connection between the distance of the plants from the road and diminution in soluble protein and chlorophyll a contents, and these two physiological traits may serve as indicators of pollution level. © 1983, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
