Injury to plants due to air pollution is found in the areas adjacent to such chemical factories as alminium refineries due to the gaseous fluoride compounds generated. The authors observed the gradual discoloration of Moso-chiku (Phyllostachys pubescens) leaves from tip to base in accordance with the degree of injury in the area adjacent to an aluminium refinery in Ehime Pref. The fluoride contents of the leaves were also determined. It was found that the closer to the factory, the more remarkable the discoloration of the leaves. The discoloration of Moso-chiku leaves was correlated to the fluoride contents of the leaves. The areal distribution of discolored Moso-chiku leaves showed the range of fluoride air pollution affecting the growth of the plant. For this reason, Mosochiku is useful as an indicator plant of air pollution by fluoride.
