Researchers from the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CUHK), has successfully evaluated the impact of Hong Kong air pollution especially ozone pollutants on plants and the atmosphere. To achieve this, a research team led by Professor Tai built a free-air experimental garden to monitor and examine the effects of ozone damage on plants. The team has chosen two genotypes of beans, one sensitive type, and one resistant type, that pose different sensitivity to ozone pollutants. The study shows that the ozone concentration in the air of Hong Kong is high enough to cause extensive damage to plants even in the countryside.
