Abstract
Due to the pollutant effects of ozone on corn the overall photosynthetic activity of the corn is diminished. This is due to a reduction of the permeability of the membranes in the palisade cells by the process of ozonolysis which breaks critical carbon-carbon double bonds in the membranes. This fact is statistically supported and shows ozone pollution has an overall negative effect on the growing of corn.
