Particles from air pollution can cover the surface of leaves, reducing the amount of light entering the leaf and potentially blocking pores called stomata (type C). This will negatively affect the plant's production of starch. By blocking stomata, gas exchange is reduced, limiting the plant's ability to photosynthesize and produce starch through that process. Less light also means lower rates of photosynthesis and starch production.
