The gray-brown haze that blankets the Los Angeles and Central Valley regions of California during the summer months is no longer a purely Californian phenomenon. Photochemical smog is now a problem in other western cities, including denver and Tucson. The best known effect of smog on California forest is the the injury to pine trees by ozone. But smog is a complex mixture of several chemicals. Recently, scientists at the Pacific Southwest Station began investigations to determine the impacts of the other chemicals in smog, both alone and in combination with ozone, on forest resources, including timber, soils and water.
