Asansol city is an industrial urban area which is also part of the Raniganj Coalfield area and is located in the Burdwan district of West Bengal. Over the last five years there was hectic development in the area in terms of industries, vehicles and infrastructures. These have resulted in significant rise of the air pollutants over the city atmosphere; which is affecting the human population, other animals and also the plant community. Although vegetation can absorb particulate and other gaseous pollutants into their system, but they also have some limitation and tend to show symptoms of damages after prolonged exposure.
