| Abstract | The study examined air pollution tolerance indices ( APTI) of ten plant species around the Erhoike-Kokori oil exploration station of Delta state. Four physiological and biochemical parameters; leaf relative water content (RWC) ascorbic acid content ( AA), total leaf chlorophyll (TCh) and leaf extract pH were used to compute the APTI values. The result showed that combining variety of these parameters gave a more reliable result than those of individual parameter. The order of tolerance is as follows: Psidium guajava < Elaesis guineensis < Musa paradisiaca < Bambosa bambosa < Anacadium occidentale < Terminalia catappa < Manihot exculenta < Impereta cylindrical < Chromolaena odorata < Manifera indica. |
