Air Pollution and It’s Impacts on Plant Growth

Description

Primary air pollutants like carbon monoxide from car exhausts and sulphur dioxide from burning fossil fuels contribute mainly to air pollution in India. Governments have adopted regulatory and other policy measures to minimize negative effects and ensure that environmental quality standards are achieved. Chemicals such as sulphur dioxide, ozone, fluorides and peroxyacyl nitrate damage the leaves of plants leading to the death of the entire plant. Other chemicals have similar effects. This book explores the detrimental effects of air pollution on plants and their growth. It describes the structure of plant cells, the function of different kinds of cells, and how plants reproduce. This valuable book will be an essential addition to any plant-science student’s and professional’s bookshelf.
