Abstract Atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) constitutes a considerable fraction of urban air
pollution, and urban greening is a potential method of mitigating this pollution. The value of …

Traffic-generated particulate matter (PM) is a significant fraction of urban PM pollution and
little is known about the use of living walls as a short-term strategy to reduce this pollution …

Urban particulate pollution in the UK remains at levels which have the potential to cause
negative impacts on human health. There is a need, therefore, for mitigation strategies within …

In the urban atmosphere, particulate matter (PM), especially PM discharged by vehicle
traffic, is a serious threat to residents' health. As the PM capturing ability of most deciduous …

The ability of vegetation to capture and retain atmospheric Particulate Matter (PM) is directly
dependent on the interactions between PM and plant surfaces. However, the impact of …

The beneficial effect of trees on urban air quality through their uptake of particulates has
been widely discussed in the literature and is often cited as one of the multiple benefits of …

Global urban planning has promoted green infrastructure (GI) such as street trees, shrubs or
other greenspace in order to mitigate air pollution. Although considerable attention has been …

Particulate matter (PM) accumulation on leaves of 22 trees and 25 shrubs was examined in
test fields in Norway and Poland. Leaf PM in different particle size fractions (PM10, PM2. 5 …

Particulate pollution is a serious health problem throughout the world, exacerbating a wide
range of respiratory and vascular illnesses in urban areas. The use of trees to reduce the …

The potential of urban greening plants to capture particulate matter (PM) from the ambient
atmosphere is contingent on interactions between the level of pollution and leaf surfaces …
