Air pollution is one of the serious problems faced by the people globally due to its transboundary dispersion of pollutants over the entire world. Plants responses towards air pollution are assessed by air pollution tolerance index (APTI) value. In this study, the air pollution tolerance index was investigated in 12 plant species named Acacia nilotica, Azadirachta indica, Bauhinia variegata.L, Bougainvillea spectabilis, Cassia tora. L, Calotropis procera, Delonix regia, Ficus religiosa, Peltophorum ferrugineum, Pongamia pinnata, Polyalthia longifolia, Terminalia catappa. Two different sites of the city were selected for the study. The first name is Krishna kanth park Jawaharnagar. The second site is Venkatagiri. The plant species having higher APTI value can be given priority for plantation program in urbanize and industrial areas; so as to reduce the effects of air pollution and to make ambient atmosphere clean and healthy.
