Description
Forty papers on research aimed at elucidating the underlying causes and mechanisms as well as consequences of the damage to plants caused by air pollution. The papers were presented at the Second European Conference on Chemistry and the Environment, held in May 1984 in Lindau, Federal Republic of Germany. The main topics discussed are the transport of air pollutants, atmospheric chemistry as a source of aggressive compounds, and the direct and indirect effects of air pollutants on plants. The contributors establish that damage to plants can continue to increase even though pollution decreases and that long-term and cumulative effects have to be considered, as well as a synergy between pollutants and other harmful agents, each of which would not be detrimental by itself.
