Publisher's Synopsis
An environmental study of acid rain and air pollution, concentrating on how different biological mechanisms are affected by airborne pollution, taking a global view of the effects on the living world. A key conclusion of the work is that while the uptake mechanisms (ie lungs, gills, stomata and roots) are very different, as are the observed effects across the animal and plant kingdoms, the underlying cellular events exhibit many more similarities than differences.;The book is aimed at students and research workers in the subjects of environmental concern, administrators and legislators handling environmentally sensitive topics, meteorologists, air chemists, animal toxicologists and plant pathologists, foresters, agriculturalists, fishery experts, medics, and all those interested in the environment who wish to know more about air pollution and acid rain.
