Min forskning handlar i första hand om luftföroreningars effekter på växter. Tyngdpunkten ligger på effekter av ozon på jordbruksgrödor, men jag har även sysslat med påverkan av koldioxid och andra föroreningars på växter. Förutom jordbruksgrödor har jag även sysslat med effekter av föroreningar på vilda örter och gräs samt lavar. Ett viktigt mål med den ozonforskning jag bedriver är att identifiera dos-respons-samband mellan ozonupptag och effekter samt att formulera så kallade kritiska nivåer för ozon, en typ av gränsvärden som används i det europeiska luftvårdssamarbetet. Här spelar uppskattning av ozonupptag genom mikrometeorologiska och ekofysiologiska metoder en viktig roll. I forskningen ingår också en del mer grundläggande studier av växters, i synnerhet grödors, ekofysiologi. Här ingår studier av vilka faktorer som styr ackumulation av kväve, kolhydrater och andra komponenter i olika delar av växten. Bioindikation för förhöjda ozonhalter med hjälp av känsliga växter utgör ytterligare en del av in forskning.
