Abstract

The article presents advice by the author related to the formulation of an adaptive strategy for preventing air pollution. According to Demitri Shimkin, adaptive strategy is a system of cognition and behavior which maximizes the well-being and minimizes the hazards to the survival of human populations. The basic concepts of this strategy are habitat and biological population. The author says that a search should be made for species of useful plants less susceptible to air pollutants. According to the author, these plants must be introduced into areas where the potential for air pollution is particularly high.
