摘要

Rapid industrialization and urbanization, particularly in developing nations like India, significantly elevate atmospheric particulate matter (PM) pollution, posing a threat to both ecosystems and human health. While PM's detrimental effects are most evident in urban areas, long-range transport exposes rural and mountainous regions as well. Plants, traditionally recognized for improving air quality, are themselves susceptible to PM accumulation, leading to substantial impacts on their morphology, biochemistry, and physiology. Extensive research exists on the physiological and biochemical consequences of PM on plants. However, a critical knowledge gap remains regarding PM's influence on soil health, leaf anatomy, reproductive processes, and genetic damage. This review article comprehensively examines the multifaceted effects of PM pollution and its constituents on the soil–plant system, plant reproduction, genotoxic damage, and various aspects of leaf morphology, anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry. By providing a holistic understanding of PM's diverse impacts, this review aims to bridge the knowledge gap and contribute to improved urban air quality management through strategic green belt development and better mitigation of agricultural and ecological risks associated with PM.
