Smoke, which is a combination or mixture of gases, organic compounds and particulate matter, causes plants to drop leaves and causes epinasty, which is a downward curvature of leaves, due to its ethylene content. Ethylene causes lateral swelling, reduces the elongation rate and, as opposed to normal vertical growth, causes horizontal growth in seedlings. Smoke often contains air pollutants like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that are also injurious to plants. Carbon dioxide in smoke is beneficial to plants, since it is used in photosynthesis, but the particulates present could coat the leaves and hinder the absorption of light.
