Author notes

The arithmetical relationship between the destruction of chlorophyll and length of exposure to synthetic smog was reported by Louis C. Erickson, Associate Plant Physiologist, University of California, Riverside, and R. T. Wedding, Assistant Plant Physiologist, University of California, Riverside.
