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 …

Abstract Biogenic Volatile Organic Compounds (BVOC) play a critical role in biosphere–
atmosphere interactions and are key factors of the physical and chemical properties of the …

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 …

In order to develop climate resilient urban areas and reduce emissions, several
opportunities exist starting from conscious planning and design of green (and blue) spaces …

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 …

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 …

Street-level concentrations of nitrogen dioxide (NO2) and particulate matter (PM) exceed
public health standards in many cities, causing increased mortality and morbidity …

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 …

Urban green space and particularly the tree canopy have been highlighted as offering a
mitigation potential against atmospheric particulate pollution. In this paper current and future …

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 …
