| Abstract: | Plant injury due to chemical air pollutants (SO2, HF, NO2, ethylene, ozone and PAN) is a well-known phenomenon in densely industrialized and urbanized areas. Studies on this subject form the major part of this publication. Less is known about the influence of air pollutants on the development of parasitic plant diseases and insect pests and only in exceptional cases has the effect of the presence of certain pathogens in plant leaves on symptom-expression resulting from chemical air pollutants been investigated. |
