Abstract
Investigates the effects of pollution of iron and sulfur dioxide particulates on Sophora tomentosa. Simulated pollution resulted in decreased photosynthesis and increased iron content and membrane permeability of the leaves. Sophora tomentosa may have potential use as a bioindicator.Suggested Citation
