Biology: an effect of smog on stomatal behaviour

Abstract

In an area covered by a dense fog accompanied by unusually high air pollution, the authors observed that the opening of the stomata of Xanthium pennsylvanicum in light was slower and that the maximum degree of opening attained was less than in normal weather. There was no evidence of any permanent effect on the stomata, since measurements showed that they could open normally again after a return to normal weather.
