October 30, 2016 - Planting Healthy Air report quantifies health benefits of trees for 245 cities globally.

Poor air quality is a common problem in many urban areas. The trees in NPS’s urban forests contribute to improved air quality.

The ever-increasing vehicle counts have resulted in a significant increase in air pollution impacting human and natural ecosystems including trees, and physical properties. Roadside plantations often act as a first defense line against the vehicular ...

Vegetation can form a barrier between traffic emissions and adjacent areas, but the optimal configuration and plant composition of such green infrastructure (GI) are currently unclear. We examined the literature on aspects of GI that influence ambient air quality, with a particular focus on ...

With rapidly increasing urbanization, cities frequently suffer from the development of urban pollution and heat islands, the co-occurrence of which in…

Air pollution causes the largest death toll among environmental risks globally, but interventions to purify ambient air remain inadequate. Vegetation …

Fine particulate matter (PM2.5) is a common air pollutant that represents a significant threat to public health. In Dublin, a major source of PM2.5 is…

Urban forests, as an integral part of nature-based solutions (NBS), are significant contributors to improving urban air quality, delivering ecological service functions and environmental benefits to human health and well-being. Suitable urban forest management, including proper species selection, ...

January 1, 2000 - The beneficial effect that trees have on air quality is often stated in arboricultural literature but has rarely been researched. The presented study aims to identify trees from 5 contrasting species that maximize the benefit to local air quality. Results show that all trees examined captured ...

October 22, 2024 - Conifers are generally better than broad-leafed trees at purifying air from pollutants. A new study shows that the best trees for air purification depend on the type of pollutant involved.

July 18, 2024 - Find out how trees reduce air pollution by absorbing harmful pollutants, producing oxygen, and improving overall air quality for a healthier environment.

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.

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 ...

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…

Today, we're looking at how trees affect your air quality, why cities need more trees, and which ones can help improve it.
