Tree Damage From Chlorine Gas: A Selected Bibliography
University Outreach Publication
The literature on chlorine gas damage to trees is based upon laboratory exposures of trees (usually small and juvenile trees) to chlorine gas and hydrochloric acid, or upon accidental releases of chlorine gas into the environment. Accidental releases are valuable for assessing damage but remember: data control is poor; observations of the damage is assumed to be directly related to the accidental exposure without proof of exposure; and, information about climatic factors at the time of exposure may be limited. Trees exposed to chlorine gas vary in their reactions from no visible symptoms to death.
Below is a selection of important literature which present studies, observations, and authors involved in the study and understandings of chlorine gas exposure to plants with an emphasis on trees and landscapes. This is not a comprehensive review, but a list to assist tree health care professionals gain access to the literature.
