Fine-particle pollution may undermine plants' ability to absorb carbon and conserve water
Key Points
Researchers at the Faculty of Social Sciences at the University of Hong Kong (HKU) have discovered that fine particulate pollution (PM2.5) significantly impairs plants' ability to use water efficiently and absorb carbon dioxide.
