This paper gives some observations made at various sites along the Tyrrhenian coast in Italy. The authors show that the presence of surfactants in the environment correlates with the presence of sea salt and that the impact of surfactants on vegetation is local and occurs only in association with strong sea winds. The study of the synergistic effect of surfactants and sea salt on the crowns of trees exposed to aerosols suggests that the surfactant can cause direct damage while the absorption of sea salt is enhanced by the presence of the surfactant only when exposure to aerosol is prolonged or if it is administered in very high concentrations.
