6. Introduction
Air Pollution a hidden threat to the food
production
Crops can be injured when exposed to high
concentration.
These include the length of exposure to the
pollutant, the plant species and its stage of
development as well as the environmental
factors which make it either susceptible or
resistant to injury.
7. WhatisAirPollution?
Air pollution is the introduction of chemicals,
particulate matter, or biological materials
that cause harm or discomfort to humans or
other living organisms, or cause damage to
the natural environment or built
environment, into the atmosphere rations of
various AIR POLLUTANTS.

*Industrial emission
*Burning of Fossil Fuels
*Product of accidental
releases due to
inadequate spills or
sprays
*Agriculture activities
*Volcanoes & Forestfire
*Acid Rain
27. Effects of Air Pollution on Plants
Air pollution injury to plants can be evident in
several ways. Injury to foliage may be visible in a
short time and appear as necrotic lesions (dead
tissue), or it can develop slowly as a yellowing or
chlorosis of the leaf.
There may be a reduction in growth of various
portions of a plant. Plants may be killed outright,
but they usually do not succumb until they have
suffered recurrent injury.
56. ICAR VISION 2030
The vision articulates the strategies to
overcome the challenges and tap the
opportunities along with the Farmers by
harnessing the power of science and
undertaking boundary less partnership with
different stakeholders in food supply chain at
national and international level.
