摘要：Vijayawada is the commercial capital of Andhra Pradesh. Many of the agricultural produces from thehinter land arrive here for export to various other parts of the state, country and abroad. Vijayawada is surroundedby small hillocks on all sides making it appear as a basin. Vijayawada is also having excellent network of waterbodies with Krishna river on the east and Budameru on the west and three canal systems passing through the city.Yet Vijayawada experiences scorching heat with very high temperatures in summer season. The radiation from thesurrounding hillocks keep the city much warm even during the night time. The air pollution in the city is increasingbecause of rapid industrialization and increase in the density of transport vehicles plying in the city as well as thethree important national highways passing through the city. With this background Vijayawada is a suitable city forimplementation of viable solution through selected plant species. In this article a detailed description of AirPollution Tolerance Index was given which makes it possible to delinate plant species as sensitive, intermediatoryand resistant to air pollution by planting suitable plant species resistant to air pollution along the highways and alongthe banks of the canals passing through the city as well as in the parks and green belts developed surrounding themajor industries around the city. The vegetative cover when increased substantially will provide not only the naturalcontrol of air pollution but also reduce the temperature, pumping moisture by evapotranspiration and moderate theclimate. The suitable plant species were suggested in this article. This paves way for steps for environmentalmanagement to control air pollution and at the same time provides the desired moderation in climate.
