India’s countryside offers no refuge from filthy air – Nature.com
The cities in India are notorious for their polluted air, but the air outside cities is just as dirty.
Plants, algae and other photosynthetic organisms draw their carbon from carbon dioxide in Earths atmosphere. This process is catalysed by an enzyme called Rubisco, which works inefficiently at atmospheric levels of CO2. As a workaround, many plants and other photosynthetic organisms use systems called CO2-concentrating mechanisms, which raise CO2 levels near this enzyme to improve its efficiency.
