Bioindication and Air Quality in European Cities: Research, Application, Communication

Verlag Günter Heimbach, Stuttgart, 2002. 295p.

Air pollution continues to be a major environmental hazard in cities despite progress in the reduction of emissions made during the past decades. The LIFE Eurobionet project (LIFE99 ENV/D/000453) assessed and evaluated the effects of air pollution using bioindicator plants within a network of cities in 11 European countries. The book comes with a CD ROM with a detailed description of the project. More information is available on the LIFE project database, and on the Eurobionet website.
