ABSORPTION OF GASES. 87 



Occasionally other gases, such as sulphur dioxide, sulphu- 

 retted hydrogen, and hydrochloric acid, are present in the air 

 in the neighbourhood of chemical works. The plants of the 

 district very soon become unhealthy and die, so there is 

 reason to believe that these gases are absorbed by the leaves.
