Both processes are described by many existing models and experiments, on-site and in …

Air pollution is one of the serious problems world is facing in recent Anthropocene era of
rapid industrialization and urbanization. Specifically particulate matter (PM) pollution …

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 …

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 …

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 …

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 …

Green infrastructure can reduce PM 2.5 traffic emissions on a city scale, by a combination of
dispersion by trees and deposition on buildings, trees and grass. Simulations of PM 2.5 …

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 …
