Airborne particulate matter (PM) has become a serious environmental problem and harms
human health worldwide. Trees can effectively remove particles from the atmosphere and …

Airborne particulate matter (PM) has become a serious problem, and urban plants can play
important roles in reducing PM concentrations in the air. The morphology, size, and …

Air pollution causes serious problems in spring in northern China; therefore, studying the
ability of different plants to accumulate particulate matter (PM) at the beginning of the …

A quantitative comparative analysis of PM accumulation on boles, branches and leaves is
necessary to better understand the reduction of airborne PM by trees. This study compared …

Urban plants have been proven to mitigate ambient particulate matter (PM), which can
benefit urban planners in their attempts to control urban air pollution. In this study, PM …

Urban trees have been assumed to effectively clean air particulate matter (PM), while the
inter-species differences are not yet well defined, especially the PM chemical composition …

Urban trees, especially their leaves, have the potential to capture atmospheric particulate
matter (PM) and improve air quality. However, the amount of PM deposited on leaf surfaces …

Plants can mitigate ambient particulate matter by cleaning the air, which is crucial to urban
environments. A novel approach was presented to quantitatively characterize particulate …

Urban vegetation can effectively filter and adsorb particulate matter (PM). However, limited
studies have been conducted on the PM retention capacity of tree barks. This study …

Particulate matter is potentially harmful to human health but green tree species act as air
filters to adhere these particulates. The elemental composition, number density, and size …
