Air pollution damage to vegetation has been recognized for more than a century. In this paper the occurrence and distribution of photochemical air pollution are described. Enumerated are some of the raw materials and products of these oxidation systems responsible for plant damage. The biochemical, physiological, and pathological effects of these contaminants on plants were indicated. The development of standards for ambient air quality are essential for the conservation of air as a limited natural resource and the protection of our agricultural economy through the prevention of photochemical air pollution damage to plants. 62 references.
