  • Question

    Hello sir, I am an environmental engineer working on Air Pollution reduction by Trees. I wanted to know that - how the absorbed gases such carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, volatile organic carbons by the trees are measured. Is there any method or any device for such measurement.

    Answer

    Dear mousmi, good morning. There are methods for the measure of such things, but these questions enter the realm of plant physiology, which is outside of my realm of expertise. For that, I'm sorry. I would encourage you to locate a professor of plant physiology at a university and direct this question to them. Good luck.
