“…[187]. Several studies have shown that almost all biological plant processes impacted by pollution and its criteria, such as photosynthetic rate, plant leaf respiration, protein synthesis, plant metabolic processes, and crop growth, were significantly impacted and destroyed in polluted soils [129,188,189].…”

Is there any relationship between plant nutrition and human health? The overall response to this question is very positive, and a strong relationship between the nutrition of plants and humans has been reported in the literature. The nutritional status of edible plants consumed by humans can have a negative or positive impact on human health. This review was designed to assess the importance of plant bioactive compounds for human health under the umbrella of sustainable agriculture. With respect to the first research question, it was found that plant bioactives (e.g., alkaloids, carotenoids, flavonoids, phenolics, and terpenoids) have a crucial role in human health due to their therapeutic benefits, and their potentiality depends on several factors, including botanical, environmental, and clinical attributes. Plant bioactives could be produced using plant tissue culture tools (as a kind of agro-biotechnological method), especially in cases of underexploited or endangered plants. Bioactive production of plants depends on many factors, especially climate change (heat stress, drought, UV radiation, ozone, and elevated CO2), environmental pollution, and problematic soils (degraded, saline/alkaline, waterlogged, etc.). Under the previously mentioned stresses, in reviewing the literature, a positive or negative association was found depending on the kinds of stress or bioactives and their attributes. The observed correlation between plant bioactives and stress (or growth factors) might explain the importance of these bioactives for human health. Their accumulation in stressed plants can increase their tolerance to stress and their therapeutic roles. The results of this study are in keeping with previous observational studies, which confirmed that the human nutrition might start from edible plants and their bioactive contents, which are consumed by humans. This review is the first report that analyzes this previously observed relationship using pictorial presentation.

“…Air pollution is amongst the serious emerging threats to the modern civilized world (Wróblewska and Jeong 2021 ; Malav et al 2022 ), imposing long-term toxicological impacts on the entire environment by influencing biodiversity, well-being of living organisms, and climate (Giri and Pant 2018 ; Banerjee et al 2022 ; Enitan et al 2022 ; Mor et al 2022 ). Anthropogenic activities such as transportation, industries, residential energy usage, and biomass burning are predominant sources of air pollutants emission (Kashyap et al 2018 ; Javanmard et al 2020 ; Ojha et al 2020 ; Giri et al 2021 ).…”

“…Green cover around the roadside has attracted a lot of attention because it is cost-effective and eco-friendly filters for combating the air pollution levels (Rai 2019 ; Singh et al 2020 ; Banerjee et al 2022 ; Mondal and Singh 2022 ). Urban green infrastructure is estimated to reduce ambient PM 10 concentration by 26% (Wróblewska and Jeong 2021 ).…”

“…Surface deposition of atmospheric particulates on tree foliage is assessed by the size, kind, and characteristics of the particles and surface to which they adhere. Plant hairs, trichomes, and non-smooth surfaces have been assisted in the deposition and storage of suspended particles (Adhikari et al 2022 ; Banerjee et al 2022 ; Hozhabralsadat et al 2022 ). Various processes in vegetation such as photosynthesis, biochemical, morphological (Banerjee et al 2022 ; Enitan et al 2022 ), and physiological processes vary under susceptibility toward varying levels of air pollution (Thawale et al 2011 ; Zhao et al 2021 ).…”

The current study was conducted around the province of Haldwani City, Uttarakhand, India, to understand the seasonal variation of ambient air pollutants (PM 2.5, PM 10 , SO 2 , and NO 2 ) and their impact on four tree species, i.e., neem ( Azadirachta indica ), mountain cedar ( Toona ciliate ), bottlebrush ( Callistemon citrinus ), and guava ( Psidium guajava ) during 2020–2021. Multiple linear regression (MLR)-based prediction analysis showed that the selected air quality variables (PM 2.5 , PM 10 , SO 2 , and NO 2 ) had a significant impact on the biochemical responses of selected tree spp. including, pH, ascorbic acid (AA), total chlorophyll content (T. Chl.), relative water content (RWC), and dust deposition potential. In this, the coefficient of variance ( R 2 ) of the developed models was in the range of 0.70–0.98. The ambient air pollutants showed significant seasonal variations as depicted by using the air pollution tolerance index (APTI) and anticipated performance index (API). The tree species from polluted sites observed more pollution tolerance than the tree species from the control site. Regression analysis showed a significant positive association between the biochemical characteristics and APTI, with the highest influence by AA ( R 2 = 0.961) followed by T. Chl., RWC, and pH. The APTI and API score was observed as maximum for A. indica and minimum for C. citrinus . The impact of air pollutants on the morphology of foliar surface was investigated by the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and recorded various dust deposition patterns, stomatal blockages, and damage of guard cells in the trees growing along the polluted site (S2). The present study can assist environmental managers to examine the pollution-induced variables and develop an effective green belt for combating air pollution in polluted areas.
