Responses of Plants to Air Pollution

This volume details the effects of air pollutants both individually and synergistically on the higher and lower plant groups. Discussions range from the subcellular level to entire ecosystems, and cover anatomy, pathology and biochemistry of plants in relation to air pollution. Sources and costs of air pollution are overviewed, as are the mechanisms of injury. SO/sub 2/, ozone, fluorides, PAN, nitrogen oxides and particulates are all treated in detail. Interactive and system-level effects are also discussed. There are 14 chapters for which analytics have been done.
