Description:

Concentrates on how different biological mechanisms are affected by air pollution and acid rain. Considers the sources of different atmospheric pollutants (and natural emissions) and their reactions in the atmosphere, rain, lakes, and soil. Also discussed is how each pollutant, or its derivative, gains access to living organisms. Explores, in detail, various reactions within animal and plant cells especially sensitive to pollution, and attempts by these organisms to counteract or resist this harm. Emphasis is not on specific geographical areas, but more towards a universal view of the effects of air pollutants and acid rain on the living world as a whole.
