| Abstract | ||
| Air pollution is one of the most dangerous types of environmental pollution due to it is dangerous effects on all living beings especially plants through its effects on the process of respiration which is necessary for life. The burning of Al-Mishraq sulfate caused the ascending of large quantities of SO2 making a densed cloud of smog covered the sky of Mosul. The research included wide processes of investigation, a quick survey and collection of data and field observation. The weather condition i.e. scope of vision, sun rise, total radiation etc. were recorded in order to know the effects and environmental dangers and to estimate the degree of degradation and susceptibility of plants for the high concentration of SO2 gas. Some representing locations were chosen and photographed with a digital camera so that pictures could be shown on the computer screen which helped to use a (Adobe Photoshop ver. 7.0) program for the first time in these studies to compare the values of basic colors : Red , Green and Blue (RGB) of healthy and infected leaves. The results showed clear and varied differences in the degrees of resistance and susceptibility of different plants for the effects and dangers of SO2 and plants degradation. It has also been found the trees of pear, quince and apples were the most susceptible infected and degradation, while citrus were highly resistant. The results also emphasized the possibility and ability to use the digital camera with the program in the calculations of RGB values in such studies in the future to specify the changes in basic colors. | ||
