Photosynthetic pigment content, proline content, phosphatase activity and Hill activity, heavy metal contents and their relevance to be used as phytoremediators was investigated. Decrease in pigment content and increase in proline content and phosphatase activity was observed in the plants from polluted areas. Micromorphological studies revealed the effect of automobile emission on epidermal cells and stomatal size on both the experimental plants. Data indicated that between the two plants, <em>A. spinosus </em>was more susceptible and <em>C. bonplandianum </em>was more tolerant to vehicular pollution.</p> <p>Bangladesh J.
