Exposure to elevated concentrations of surface ozone (O3) causes substantial reductions in
the agricultural yields of many crops. As emissions of O3 precursors rise in many parts of the …

This review presents tropospheric ozone (O3), an air pollutant affecting agriculture by
reducing crop yield and deteriorating quality of produce. O3 enters leaves through stomata …

In this study, we estimate yield losses and economic damage of two major crops (winter
wheat and rabi rice) due to surface ozone (O 3) exposure using hourly O 3 concentrations …

Air pollution has become part of the daily existence of many people who work, live and use
the streets in Asian cities. Each day millions of city dwellers breathe air polluted with …

A high resolution regional chemistry-transport model has been used to study the distribution
of exposure-plant response index (AOT40, Accumulated exposure Over a Threshold of 40 …

Executive summary With the world population predicted to increase to 9 billion by 2050,
security of food supplies is one of the most important challenges for this century. The key …

Hourly, three-dimensional, fields of tropospheric ozone have been produced for 12
consecutive months on a domain covering South Asia, using the regional Eulerian off-line …

Air pollution affects us all in a number of crucial ways, causing lasting damage to our health
and our environment. Whereas primary pollution can result from local activities, the extent of …

This study has applied a number of different O3 risk assessment methods in South Asia to
assess the extent and magnitude of O3 risk to crops and investigate how appropriate …

ABSTRACT A study was conducted to examine the ozone status and its effects on crops in
