Plants can take up and transform brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and organophosphate
flame retardants (OPFRs) from soil, water and the atmosphere, which is of considerable …

Owing to their toxicity, persistence and capacity for long-range atmospheric transport,
persistent organic pollutants (POPs) are internationally regulated. However, forests can …

With more than half of the world's population now living in urban areas, it is vitally important
that towns and cities are healthy places to live. The principal aim of this book is to synthesize …

Air–vegetation exchange of POPs is an important process controlling the entry of POPs into
terrestrial food chains, and may also have a significant effect on the global movement of …

Plant leaves have been demonstrated to be a crucial sink of airborne microplastics (MPs).
However, because of the particular shape of MPs and their relatively weak forces with …

Nature Based Strategies for Urban and Building Sustainability reviews the current state-of-
the-art on the topic. In the introduction, the editors review the fundamental concepts of nature …

Foliage uptake and inner-leaf translocation of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) by
Cinnamomum camphora from different urbanized areas were comparatively investigated in …

The often-overlooked importance of foliar absorption on the plant uptake of organic
pollutants was investigated by an exposure chamber test. Rice seedlings were exposed to …

The influence of plant lipids on the equilibrium sorption of three aromatic solutes from water
was studied. The plant− water sorption isotherms of benzene, 1, 2-dichlorobenzene, and …
