Chlorophyll fluorescence induction of Scots pine needles was measured under field conditions in the vicinity of an oil refinery, and in the greenhouse after a recovery period of 20 h. Pigment content of needles was also determined. Sulphur dioxide is discussed as a potential factor affecting the light reactions of photosynthesis.
