Air pollution causes the largest death toll among environmental risks globally, but
interventions to purify ambient air remain inadequate. Vegetation and green spaces have …

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 …

Microplastics (MPs) can enter plants through the foliar pathway and are potential hazards to
ecosystems and human health. However, studies related to the molecular mechanisms …

Air pollution is air contaminated by anthropogenic or naturally occurring substances in high
concentrations for a prolonged time, resulting in adverse effects on human comfort and …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a significant risk to many ecosystems; as sessile
organisms, plants are at particular risk from PM pollution since they cannot move away from …

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 …

Air pollution in the urban environment is widely recognized as one of the most harmful
threats for human health. International organizations such as the United Nations and the …

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 …

Urban vegetation has been shown to improve air quality. Green envelopes can provide wide
vegetated surfaces in dense cities. This research investigates the performances of four …

Particulate matter (PM) pollution poses a significant threat to human health. Greenery,
particularly trees, can act as effective filters for PM, reducing associated health risks …
