This report is concerned with the effects of ozone and sulfur dioxide, alone and in combination, on leaf chloroplasts of a deciduous woody plant. Populus deltoides represents one of the few deciduous plants to be studied for the effects of these two common air pollutants. This report details the results of these pollutants on hybrid poplar leaf mesophyll cells under similar experimental conditions as above, but processed for conventional transmission electron microscopy.
