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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Urban particulate air pollution is a serious health issue. Trees within cities can remove fine
particles from the atmosphere and consequently improve air quality and human health. Tree …

International concern to develop sustainably challenges us to act upon the inherent links
between our economy, society and environment, and is leading to increasing …

Human activity is rapidly transforming most of Earth's natural systems. How this
transformation is impacting human health, whose health is at greatest risk, and the …

Vegetation is often quoted as an effective measure to mitigate urban air quality problems. In
this work we demonstrate by the use of computer models that the air quality effect of urban …

Anthropologic activities have transformed global biogeochemical cycling of heavy metals by
emitting considerable quantities of these metals into the atmosphere from diverse sources …

Modern cities are dominated by impervious surfaces that absorb, store and release heat in
summer, create large volumes of runoff and provide limited biodiversity habitat and poor air …
