Overview

Il volume approfondisce il complesso tema dei rapporti tra vegetazione e inquinanti dell’aria, affrontandone in modo capillare e ben documentato sia gli aspetti scientifici sia le implicazioni storico-culturali. Dopo una rassegna delle sorgenti di inquinanti, vengono analizzate le risposte di tipo fisiologico, metabolico, ecologico ed economico delle piante agrarie e forestali ai principali inquinanti gassosi e particellari, tra i quali l’ozono è di gran lunga il problema numero uno a livello mondiale. Ugualmente trattati sono i meccanismi di veicolamento da parte delle piante di elementi potenzialmente tossici (per esempio, metalli pesanti e radionuclidi) nella catena alimentare e anche le possibili conseguenze sugli animali e sulla salute umana. La ricca iconografia a colori, l’approccio didattico, gli aggiornamenti normativi nazionali e comunitari, così come la dettagliata trattazione di tematiche quali la fitotossicologia, l’ecologia, la patologia vegetale, il biomonitoraggio, l'educazione ambientale e la valutazione di impatto ambientale, rendono il testo un sussidio indispensabile per i laureandi e gli specializzandi nelle Facoltà di Agraria e di Scienze Biologiche, Ambientali e Naturali, per i tecnici e per tutti i professionisti e gli operatori che necessitano di una conoscenza completa dell’argomento.
