Individual tissue analyses showed high concentrations of magnesium, zinc, cadmium and phosphate in digestive gland and high concentrations of calcium in digestive gland and mantle. Lead and copper did not concentrate to any extent in a specific tissue. Manganese was located mainly in mantle, skin and foot. Mucus secreted from Cwmystwyth slugs contained high amounts of zinc and manganese, and granules isolated from the digestive gland, more zinc.

Of twelve major incidents of ammonia injury to vegetation investigated recently, eleven involved the manufacture, storage or transportation of liquid ammonia fertiliser. One case involved spillage of ammonia from a large refrigeration system. Data on foliar injury symptoms and relative susceptibility to ammonia were compiled for over a hundred species of native and cultivated plants injured in these episodes. Symptoms of acute injury on woody plants usually consisted of large, irregular, dark brown or black necrotic lesions scattered over the surface of the leaf. Some thin-leaved herbaceous plants developed necrotic lesions that bleached to an ivory or light tan colour. The most susceptible species were balsam poplar, red mulberry and catnip. Maples and conifers appeared to be very resistant to foliar injury.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":100482,"journal":{"name":"Environmental Pollution (1970)","volume":"20 4","pages":"Pages 297-302"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1979-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/0013-9327(79)90152-6","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"52962553","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
