Pollutionisreducingthe fragranceofplantsandthuspreventingbeesfrom pollinatingthem—endangeringoneofthemostessentialcyclesofnature,anewstudy suggests.
The potentiallyhugelysignificantresearch, fundedbyUS NationalScienceFoundation,has foundthat gases mainlyformedfrom theemissionsof carexhaustpreventflowers fromattracting beesandotherinsectsto pollinatethem.And thescientistswhohaveconductedthe study fear thatinsects’abilitiesto driveawayen

ProfessorJose
Fuentes,wholed thestudy,said,“Scentmolecules(分子)producedbyflowersina less pollutedenvironment could travelforroughly1,000to1,200 meters.Buttodaytheymaytravelonly200to300 meters.Thismakesit increasingly difficultforbeesandother insectsto locatetheflowers.”
The researchers, who workedonthemoleculesofsnapdragons(金鱼草),found thatthe moleculesarevolatile(易挥发的) andquickly bond withpollutants,mainlyformedfromvehicleemissions.Thischemically changesthemolecules sothattheynolongersmelllikeflowers.A harmfulcycleisthereforeset up whereinsectsstruggle to getenoughfood and theplantsdonotgetpollinatedenoughtomultiply.
