Introduction

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.

Basic Concepts and Chemistry

It also elucidates basic concepts of formation of fog, role of meteorology in fog formation, chemistry of fog, how different chemical constituents present in fog affect its quality and the surrounding atmosphere.

Impacts of Fog

Impacts on plant species, human health, visibility, and economy are discussed, along with dissipation of fog by cost-effective techniques.

Management and Applications

It also highlights the use of some plant species in managing fog-induced pollution.

Intended Audience

This book is of interest to teachers, researchers, climate change scientists, professionals involved in air quality, meteorology, plant and human-related research, capacity builders, and policymakers. It also serves as additional reading material for undergraduate and graduate students of agriculture, forestry, ecology, and environmental sciences. National and international environmentalists and policymakers will also find this to be a useful read.
