PLANT PHYSIOLOGYInvestigation on Injury to Plants from Air Pollution in the Los Angeles Area
174 Citations1952A. J. Haagen‐Smit, Ellis F. Darley +3 more
These investigations demonstrate the utility of plants in analyzing air pollutants and show for the first time that hydrocarbons, normally harmless air pollutants of organic nature, can cause severe damage through their reaction with substances know to be in the air.
PLANT PHYSIOLOGYThe Physiological Action of Smog on Plants. I. Initial Growth and Transpiration Studies
43 Citations1953Helen Garman Koritz, F. W. Went
Tomato plants given limited water supply were resistant to smog damage while comparable plants receiving ample water were susceptible, and transpiration and water uptake rates of tomato plants were decreased by subjection to Smog.
