Abstract

Emissions of volatile organic compounds from plants in the presence of nitrogen oxides can result in plant damage through the production of ozone and other air pollutants. It has long been known that photochemical air pollution can damage vegetation (Middleton et al. 1950). The first laboratory experiments by Haagen-Smit et al. (1952) showed that photolyzed mixtures of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and alkenes damage plants. Haagen-Smit and coworkers also showed that ozone was produced in these mixtures (HaagenSmit 1952; Haagen-Smit et al. 1953; Haagen-Smit and Fox 1956).
