Using precisely controlled conditions-temperature, light, and humidity in a growth chamber, the basic relationships between woody plants and air pollution are being studied. significant differences in the ability of leaves of woody plants to absorb sulfur dioxide from their microenvironment are examined. Red maple, white birch, and sweetgum seedlings absorb more SO/sub 2/ than do rhododendron, white ash, and azalea seedlings. (3photos)
