Air Pollution Damage to Vegetation
ADVANCES IN CHEMISTRY SERIES No. 122
A symposium sponsored by the Division of Agricultural and Food Chemistry of the American Chemical Society.
John A. Naegele, Editor
Air pollution can threaten our future food supply. Ten papers of the utmost timeliness and significance address themselves to this critical problem, and closely examine the consequences of toxic air on the plants we depend on for food, fiber, and aesthetic enjoyment.
This important volume discusses plant abnormalities caused by polluted air (unwarranted pigment change in leaves, malformed growth, or necrosis), along with the hidden injury from long-term, low-level toxic exposure. A comprehensive range of topics cover: • the chemical basis of the air pollution
problem • damage from ozone, photochemical
smog, PAN, and oxides of nitrogen and sulfur
• acute and chronic responses of horticultural and agronomic crops; biochemical effects
• plant toxicology; selecting and breeding plants for increased tolerance
• oxidant-induced change in a conifer forest; impact of population shifts; the future of crop production
137 pages (1973) Cloth, $9.95; Paper $5.45. Postpaid in U.S. and Canada, plus 40 cents elsewhere.
