Journal ArticleDOI
Tansley Review No. 24 Why are atmospheric oxides of nitrogen usually phytotoxic and not alternative fertilizers
TL;DR: This review considers their uptake into foliage, as well as their subsequent metabolism and physiology, and attempts to explain why these gases are often phytotoxic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Dry deposition of reactive nitrogen compounds: A review of leaf, canopy and non-foliar measurements
TL;DR: The authors summarizes dry deposition data for several reactive nitrogen compounds (gases and particles) for both foliar and non-foliar sites of deposition, and differentiates these data with respect to the techniques by which they were obtained.
Journal ArticleDOI
Responses of herbaceous plants to urban air pollution: effects on growth, phenology and leaf surface characteristics.
TL;DR: The study demonstrated clearly the potential for realistic levels of vehicle exhaust pollution to have direct adverse effects on urban vegetation.
BookDOI
Effects of atmospheric pollutants on forests, wetlands, and agricultural ecosystems
T.C. Hutchinson,K.M. Meema +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the knowledge of the sensitivities and responses of forests, wetlands and crops to airborne pollutants is reported, including: acidic depositions, heavy metal particulates, sulphur dioxide, ozone, nitrogen oxides, acid fogs, and mixtures of these.
Journal ArticleDOI
The potential importance of an increased atmospheric nitrogen supply to the growth of ombrotrophic sphagnum species
TL;DR: Investigation of mire sites in northern Britain found growth of Sphagnum cuspidatum Hoffm, in bog pools was less in the polluted site and this was associated with a marked increase in tissue nitrogen concentration, and much of this large increase in nitrogen concentration could have resulted from atmospheric deposition alone.

Journal ArticleDOI
Combustion in heat exchangers
TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the ranges of flow for which flames can stably be burnt in combustors based on extensive heat recirculation between products and reactants in terms of the heat exchanger characteristics.
Journal ArticleDOI
Limits to energy release and utilisation from chemical fuels
S. A. Lloyd,Felix Jiri Weinberg +1 more
TL;DR: New combustors effectively abolish limits of flammability and extend the concept of what is a fuel by burning very lean mixtures they also minimise pollution and irretrievable energy losses during conversion.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depression of Yield in Ryegrass Exposed to Sulphur Dioxide
J. N. B. Bell,W. S. Clough +1 more
TL;DR: Mudd et al. as discussed by the authors investigated the effects of prolonged periods of low SO2 concentration on the growth of S23 Lolium perenne in order to establish whether SO2 can cause invisible injury and also to measure the depression of yields at different concentrations of the gas.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of SO2 and NO2 polluted air upon the ultrastructure of chloroplasts
TL;DR: The ultrastructure of mature bean tissue exposed to air polluted by various concentrations of SO 2 or NO 2 at maximum stomatal aperture for short periods was compared with similar unpolluted tissue using an electron microscope, and swelling of the thylakoids within the chloroplasts was detected.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of Wind Speed on the Sensitivity of Ryegrass to SO2
T. W. Ashenden,T. A. Mansfield +1 more
TL;DR: The sensitivity of S23 Lolium perenne L. to 11 parts 10~8 SO2 was investigated at two different wind speeds and it was concluded that the sensitivity of a plant to a particular pollutant should no longer be measured in terms of only the concentration and length of exposure.
