Abstract: Damage to vegetation from polluted atmospheres has been recognized for more than a century. Sulfur dioxide was the first pollutant recognized as causing significant damage to vegetation, and fluorine is the most important halogen which causes damage. The other halogens and hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, and carbon monoxide do not cause significant damage to vegetation because these contaminants usually arise from accidental losses from specific sources and usually do not occur in sufficiently high concentrations.
