Abstract/Description: Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory ecologist Joe Shinn tests a sugar beet leaf with a diffusion porometer, an instrument designed to measure how the plant reacts when subjected to gaseous pollutants. Plants inside the chamber are fumigated with various gases to determine the potential effect of emissions which might be released from geothermal power facilities in southern California's Imperial Valley.
