Particulate matter (PM) is an air contaminant in urban and industrial areas that often
exceeds limit values, creating serious problems due to its harmful effects on health. Planting …

More evidence has shown that exposure to particulate matter (PMs) within urban streets
increases adverse health risks, and vegetation barriers have the potential to improve near …

Vegetation establishment in urban areas is a potential solution to combat elevated
particulate matter (PM) pollution, create cleaner environment for residents and enhance the …

The net influence of trees on local air quality in urban street canyons, negative or positive,
has rarely been evaluated by field investigations. To quantify the influence of street trees on …

Urban vegetation affects air quality through influencing pollutant deposition and dispersion.
Both processes are described by many existing models and experiments, on-site and in …

The green infrastructure (GI) is identified as a passive exposure control measure of air
pollution. This work examines particulate matter (PM) reduction by a roadside hedge and its …

Green walls have recently been identified as a green infrastructure (GI) solution to the
problem of particulate matter (PM) air pollution. Green wall systems mostly use evergreen …

Urban street canyon morphology plays an important role in outdoor air quality and should be
considered in tree planting schemes. However, the air pollutant reduction rate by street trees …

As interest in improving urban air quality grows, phytoremediation—amelioration through
plants—is an increasingly popular method of targeting particulate matter (PM), one of the …

Fine particulate matter of industrial and traffic emissions can cause serious health hazard to
urban population. However, roadside trees can be particularly effective at capturing air …
