Air pollution effects on the leaf structure of two injury resistant species: Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Olea europaea L.

The article presents a study on the effect of air pollution on the leaf structure of Olea europaea L. and Eucalyptus camaldulensis injury resistant species. It states that 30 leaves were employed for sampling and 10 small pieces of leaves were determined in phosphate buffered three percent glutaraldehyde and dehydrated in a graded ethanol. Result shows that the mesophyll cells of leaves polluted plants stay intact and the organelles were returned to their structure.
