| description | Air pollution is a global environmental issue, and there is an urgent need for sustainable remediation techniques. Thus, phytoremediation has become a popular approach to air pollution remediation. This paper reviewed 28 eco-friendly indigenous plants based on both the air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index (API), using tolerance level and performance indices to evaluate the potential of most indigenous plant species for air pollution control. The estimated APTI ranged from 4.79 (<i>Syzygium malaccense</i>) to 31.75 (<i>Psidium guajava</i>) among the studied indigenous plants. One of the selected plants is tolerant, and seven (7) are intermediate to air pollution with their APTI in the following order: <i>Psidium guajava</i> (31.75) > <i>Swietenia mahogany</i> (28.08) > <i>Mangifera indica</i> L. (27.97) > <i>Ficus infectoria</i> L. (23.93) > <i>Ficus religiosa</i> L. (21.62) > <i>Zizyphus Oenoplia Mill</i> (20.06) > <i>Azadirachta indica A. Juss.</i> (19.01) > <i>Ficus benghalensis</i> L. (18.65). Additionally, the API value indicated that <i>Mangifera indica L.</i> ranges from best to good performer; <i>Ficus religiosa</i> L. and <i>Azadirachta indica A. Juss</i>. from excellent to moderate performers; and <i>Cassia fistula</i> L. from poor to very poor performer for air pollution remediation. The Pearson correlation shows that there is a positive correlation between API and APTI (R2 = 0.63), and this implies that an increase in APTI increases the API and vice versa. This paper shows that <i>Mangifera indica</i> L., <i>Ficus religiosa</i> L., and <i>Azadirachta indica A. Juss.</i> have good potential for sustainable reduction in air pollution for long-term management and green ecomanagement development. |
