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.…mehr
