Riassunto

This book addresses the atmospheric phenomenon of fog formation and its impacts on plant and human life. It covers the chemistry, formation, dynamics, impacts and dissipation of the fog.  It also elucidate basic concepts of formation of fog, role of meteorology in fog formation, chemistry of fog, how different chemical constituents present in fog affects its quality and surrounding atmosphere, impacts on plant species, human health, visibility and economy and dissipation of fog by cost effective techniques. It also highlights the use of some plant species in managing the fog induced pollution. This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, professionals involved in air quality, meteorology, plant and humans related research, capacity builders and policymakers. Also the book serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, and environmental sciences. National and international environmentalists, policy makers will also find this to be a useful read.
