sick-looking leaves on the right were grown in high-ozone air. Their color is
much paler than the healthy leaves on the left because the ozone destroyed a
lot of the green-colored chlorophyll (KLOR-o-fill). And plants need chlorophyll

What other damage do you see?
The healthy-looking
leaves on the left were grown in the same air that had been filtered to remove
the ozone.
