Large-eddy simulation (LES) is used to systematically analyse the impacts of trees on air quality in idealised street canyons. The LES tree model incl…

August 1, 2024 - Urban forests play an integral role in air quality improvement. Trees reduce temperatures and mitigate the heat-island effect through evapotranspiration; they sequester the emission of greenhouse gasses by removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere; they remove air pollutants by trapping ...

May 22, 2020 - Recent researches state what species can be considered anti-smog trees - more effective to the purpose of reducing CO2 emissions and smog in our cities.

Air pollution in the urban environment is widely recognized as one of the most harmful threats for human health. International organizations such as t…

Trees in urban areas have a significant impact on air quality and other environmental issues. Trees can affect the concentration of air pollutants that we br...

The increased population in megacities has recently exacerbated the need to combat air pollution. This study examined the concept that the sensitivity and tolerance of urban plant species to air pollution might be used to determine Tehran, Iran's ...

In an increasingly urbanized world, air pollution mitigation is considered one of most important issues in city planning. Urban trees help to improve air quality by facilitating widespread depositi...

January 13, 2020 - Insieme possiamo prenderci cura dei luoghi che amiamo, lasciando la Terra meglio di come l'abbiamo trovata.

Trees have been reported to help reduce streetside air pollution, hence reduce public exposure risk to traffic-related air pollutants such as particul…

January 1, 2000 - PDF | The beneficial effect that trees have on air quality is often stated in arboricultura l literature but has rarely been researched. The presented... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on ResearchGate

May 25, 2023 - Want to know more about how trees improve air quality in urban areas. Learn which pollutants trees remove from the air and how you can improve air quality

A massive increase in air emissions resulted from the growing population and the increasing use of automobiles. This air pollution adversely affects l…

Human health risks caused by PM2.5 raise awareness to the role of trees as bio-filters of urban air pollution, but not all species are equally capable of filtering the air. The objectives of this current study were: (1) to determine the foliar traits for effective PM2.5-capture and (2) explore ...

January 1, 2024 - Explore if trees truly enhance air quality and which ones are best. Uncover the science behind their impact.

Air pollutant removal by urban vegetation is perceived to be a key ecosystem service for mitigating air pollution. However, the effectiveness of air phytoremediation in cities requires more synthesis to inform environmental management. A Bayesian meta-analysis approach was used to quantify ...

SACRAMENTO – Research by the California Environmental Protection Agency's Air Resources Board (ARB) shows that informed selection and planting of trees can reduce urban air pollution. In a study presented to the Board, over 1400 tree species were compiled and rated for their various pollution ...

As public health concerns have increased due to the rising number of studies linking adverse health effects with exposures to traffic-related pollution near large roadways, interest in methods to mitigate these exposures have also increased. Several ...

Human health risks caused by PM[2.5] raise awareness to the role of trees as bio-filters of urban air pollution, but not all species are equally capable of filtering the air. The objectives of this current study were: (1) to determine the foliar traits ...
