Effect on Narcissus Plant by Exhaust Emissions Derived from Diesel Engine

Polluted narcissuses by exhaust emissions derived from a diesel engine twice a day were investigated by scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray analyzer, transmission electron microscopy and X-ray fluorescence spectrometer analyses. Polluted narcissuses were characterized by no flower, deformed leave and the change of color from green to yellow and black. S was increased about 6 times. About 33% of S-coated carbonaceous soots was retained through breath holes by narcissus damaged. This could be a major factor of narcissus growing abnormally during a short period.
