Description/Abstract The field work conducted has shown that high concentrations of SO/sub 2/ in the air can be withstood by the following trees and shrubs.^Trees: Acer campestris, A. platanoides, Ailanthus altissima, Aesculus hippocastanum, Morus alba, Platanus acerifolia, Pinus strobur, P. nigra, Populus Berolinensis, P. candicans, P. Hybr.^27, P. Marilandica, P. simonii, P. Serotina, Quercus robus, Robinia pseudoacacia.^Shrubs: Caragana arborescens, Crataegus oxyacantha, C. monogyna, Cerasus mehaleb, Forsythia/most of the species and varieties/, Ligustrum vulgare, Philadelphus coronaria, Ptelea trifoliata, Sambucus nigra, Salix caprea, Sorbaria sorbifolia, Sorbus aucuparia, Taxus baccata.^For the selection of trees and shrubs in the laboratory, high concentrations of SO/sub 2/ were used (60-150 ppm for a period of 10 minutes).^Experiments were conducted on cut shrubs kept in the gas chambers.^In order to estimate the degree of their injury, they were transferred to a shaded greenhouse.^A concentration of 65 ppm of SO/sub 2/ could be withstood by the following Forsythias: Forsythia intermedia Primulina, F. Densiflora, F. Spectabilis, F. giraldina, F. suspensa, F. koreana, F. ovata, F. japonica and Hippophae rhamnoides.^A concentration of 130 ppm could be withstood only by F. intermedia Vitelina.^A similarly high concentration of SO/sub 2/ could be withstood by shoots and leaves of Ailanthus girladii Duclouxii and by Platanus acerifolia.^From among the lilacs Syringa pekinensis and S. amurensis proved resistant to high concentrations of SO/sub 2/.
