Description: "Air pollution is a problem affecting every part of our planet, yet its global effects are poorly understood. The core of this book comprises assessments of the problem by experts from 12 countries representing every continent. These experts have collated evidence of air pollution effects on crop yields and forest vitality with regard to environmental policies. This information is placed in the context of a global assessment of the scale of current and future air pollution levels as well as in the socio-economic context of local production systems."--Jacket.
