Air pollution has been recognized as a potential problem for forests for nearly 150 years. Today, sulphur dioxide, fluorides and heavy metals remain a significant problem in some areas, where they are usually associated with large-scale sources in industrial and urban areas. Problems are exacerbated in those regions where there is a poor understanding of the factors involved in forest decline and where no rigorous pollution controls have been implemented.
