Best Answer

Harmful gases such as sulfur dioxide can block out light that is needed for photosynthesis. Air pollution dissolves with the water vapor in the atmosphere making the water acidic, which then forms acid rain. This harms the leaves of a plant, which reduces how well it can carry out the stage of photosynthesis slowing the rate down. Photosynthesis is an essential process within the ecosystem. Using sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, plants manufacture (make) food and energy in a chemical process which occurs in plant leaves.
