1 Introduction

Pollution is one of the serious issue on the planet. Pollution is the presentation of debasements into the
regular habitat that reason unfavorable change. There are various kinds of pollution. Pollution influences
on Environment Degradation, Human Health, Global Warming, Ozone Layer Depletion, and Infertile Land.

Air pollution refers to the arrival of contaminations into the air that are inconvenient to human wellbeing
and the planet all in all. Vehicles are one of the fundamental driver of air pollution. It is well-established
fact that 60 % of air pollution in metro city is brought about via automobiles only. Vehicles discharges
Particular issue (PM), Hydrocarbons (HC), Nitrogen oxides (NOx), Carbon monoxide (CO), Sulfur dioxide
(SO2), Toxics, Greenhouse gases into the air. The impact of these poisons is seen on plants which are
considers for analysis of impact of auto fumes contaminations on street side trees.

Air pollution is a most essential issue on the planet. Urban air regularly contains elevated amounts of
pollution that are unsafe to human wellbeing and welfare. The fundamental wellspring of increment the
dimension of air pollution is expanding populace, urbanization and industrialization. Quick
industrialization and vehicular traffic includes harmful gases and different substances to the air. The
exploitation of air quality is major ecological issue that influences numerous urban and modern destinations
and the encompassing areas worldwide and the Pakistan is one of this.

2 Need and Significance

Plants alongside roads have the potential to reduce the concentration of pollutants from vehicle emissions
and noise pollution in nearby lands (e.g., native ecosystems, crops, streams, neighborhoods, and schools).
Vegetation stores and sequesters large amounts of carbon, providing an important service to society: carbon
dioxide uptake.

Roadside plants management practices that promote natural vegetation communities may be extremely
important in conserving native plant species, which in turn can provide habitat for other taxa, especially in
landscapes that are highly altered. Roadside vegetation has the potential to act as a conservation corridor,
providing habitat connectivity across the landscape.

In certain locations where there is a high incidence of documented wildlife crossings, onetime funds could
be raised for and spent on building wildlife crossings in these areas of elevated wildlife activity, improving
safety for motor vehicle travel, and moving Kentucky to the forefront of roadside management practices
and wildlife conservation efforts close to roadways.

While collisions with trees alongside roads is a cause of concern for safety on our roadways, most of our
recommendations for increased vegetation would occur in locations with sufficient right-of-way width so
that collisions with trees would not occur or pose a potential threat to vehicle travel. The high cost of
vegetation maintenance alongside roadways in comparison to other states suggests that maintenance costs
could be minimized with improvements to our roadside management.

3 Comparison Between Along Roadside and Away From Roadside Plants

3.1 Trachycarpus fortune
Trachycarpus fortunei (windmill Palm) is a dioecious, evergreen palm that can grow up to 15 m.
Trachycarpus fortunei is an evergreen Tree growing to 12 m (39ft) by 2 m (6ft) at a slow rate.

3.1.1 Parameters
 Chlorosis
Chlorosis occurs in plant along road side while absent the plant away from road side.
 Necrosis
Necrosis is caused due to death of plant cells. The affected plant tissue usually turns brown to black in
colour. Here in both situations necrosis is occurring.
 Leaf size/shape
Leaves are large (up to 1 m), distinctive and fan-shaped (1 m) from a sharply toothed petiole, which to
around 1 m long, and even longer in shady areas. Big fat hairy trunk with a mass of palm leaves on top
and in the spring a marvellous display of haddocks.
 No of flower
Most species of palm trees will produce flowers and seeds and do this on a yearly basis. The time it
takes for flowering and seed production is variable , here flowering is not occurring along road side and
away from road side.
 Texture
Coarseent
 Foliage
Evergreen Bloom: Summer, June-July Bark: Winter
 Wildlife Value
These plants are seldom damaged by deer.
 Insects, Diseases, and Other Plant Problems
 No serious insect or diseases problems in both plants. For a palm it has excellent winter hardiness but
it may suffer in the cooler parts of the state.

3.2 Acacia Arabica

The Kikar or Babul tree is a member of the acacia family of trees, and the variety here in Pakistan is
the Acacia arabica. It can grow up to 12 metres tall and spreads its branches, so is known as a parasol tree.
