Abstract
The expansion of urban areas, the acceleration of traffic, the acceleration of economic growth, and the excessive use of energy are all characteristics of industrialized nations that have contributed to the worsening of air pollution. The integrity of the natural world is compromised by all these elements, which have a domino effect on one another and work together to harm it. A major ecological problem is the regional effects of air pollution on various plant species. Unlike animal populations, plant populations are constantly (24/7) and directly exposed to the danger of pollution. Biochemical, physiological, morphological, and anatomical reactions are among the many ways in which these organisms take in, store, and process contaminants that land on their surfaces. This research aims to find out how two possible therapeutic plant species Catharanthus roseus L. and Ocimum sanctum L. react to different levels of air pollution (vehicular pollution) in terms of their morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and pharmacognosy.
