Reinert, R A

The major pollutants affecting plants are identified as ozone, PAN, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ethylene, and fluorides. Variations in cultivar sensitivity for several species are tabulated. Growth and yield response to pollutants are also tabulated. Research needs to further understanding of the details of plant response to air pollutants are defined. 100 references, 6 tables.
