Greenhouses are off-season production facilities and thus it is quite significant to bring climate parameters into desired levels. Air pollution in greenhouse production sites has significant impacts on greenhouse plants. Existence of phytotoxic gases like ozone, nitrogen peroxide, ethylene, Sulphur dioxide, fluorine and mercury vapors, herbicide and insecticide vapors and the chemical gases used in soil fumigation seriously affect plant growth and development and greatly alters plant quality. Impact levels of toxic gases are closely related to climate of the surrounding environment. The greenhouses located in crowded cities or close to intensive industrial regions are greatly exposed to ozone and other oxides. Industrial facilities release serious quantities of Sulphur dioxide to environment. In present study, potential effects of air pollution on greenhouse production activities were assessed and measures to be taken to minimize such effects of hazardous gases on plant growth and development were provided.
