In the present investigation, comparative studies have been done, to find the effect of air pollutants generated from the exhaust of industries and automobiles on the chrorophyll content of leaves. The leaves samples of Azadirachta indica, Nerium oleander, Mangifera indica and_­ Dalbergia sissoo were collected from areas with potentially higher and lower levels of air pollution Photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll  a, chlorophyll  b and carotenoids  were quantified. A reduction in the photosynthetic pigments of plant leaves growing in higher polluted site as compared to non or less polluted ones. http://www.agriculturejournal.org/volume1number2/effect-of-air-pollution-on-chlorophyll-content-of-leaves/ Chlorophyll; Carotenoids; Air Pollution Quantification; Photosynthetic Pigments
