Many previous studies evidenced very high levels of air pollution by ozone between the North Italy (Lombardy) and the Southern Switzerland (Canton Ticino). These levels are mostly attributed to the influence of the large urbanized area of Milan and to the urban and industrial settlements in the Po Valley. Recent researches revealed the existence of spread foliar ozone-like symptoms in many native plant species, both in the Swiss and in Italian sector. Experiments carried out in open top chambers in Canton Ticino allowed us to attribute the foliar symptoms to the ambient air pollution levels
