A system has been developed to automatically measure the effects of air pollutants in the ambient air on the rate of CO/sub 2/ exchange by intact leaves of citrus trees growing in the field. A miniaturized system utilizing the same nondispersive infrared CO/sub 2/ analyzer has been designed to study individually the effects of different concentrations of air pollutants on photosynthesis and respiration by plants. 16 references, 3 figures.
