Publisher Description
This broad overview of air pollution biology presents the state of the art, supported by historical accounts of important discoveries in the field. Provides background information and addresses major industrial pollutants such as sulphur dioxide and the fluorides. Also discusses the present knowledge of what these and other pollutants do and how they interact with climatic, soil, and other potential abiotic and biotic stress factors. Considers both known and suspected effects of air pollutants on whole plant communities, and explains the underlying biochemical and physiological mechanisms involved.
