Particulate Matter Accumulation and Leaf Traits of Ten Woody Species Growing with Different Air Pollution Conditions in Cheongju City, South Korea

Huong-Thi Bui et al.

Summary: Particulate matter (PM) is the most dangerous form of air pollution that can cause severe health problems. Plants can reduce PM in urban areas by accumulating PM on the surface and epicuticular wax of leaves. Different plant species and collection sites have varying amounts of PM accumulation, with roadside plants showing higher accumulation. Leaf traits such as chlorophyll content, water content, and pH are important factors affecting PM accumulation.

Assessment of air pollution tolerance index (APTI) for some ornamental woody species in green space of humid temperate region (Rasht, Iran)

Sara Ghafari et al.

Summary: Parks' green space and vegetation play a key role in air purification and pollution absorption, and the experiment showed differences in air pollution tolerance among different plant species at different locations. Yucca filamentosa and Berberis thunbergii were identified as pollution-tolerant species suitable for park use.

Effectiveness of plants and green infrastructure utilization in ambient particulate matter removal

Katarzyna Wroblewska et al.

Summary: Plants are widely recognized as an effective means of removing particulate matter in cities, with various forms such as trees, grasslands, green roofs, living walls, water reservoirs, and urban farming. Increasing the PM removal by plants can be achieved through methods such as species selection, biodiversity increase, transgenic plants, and microorganisms.

Particulate Matter Removal Ability of Ten Evergreen Trees Planted in Korea Urban Greening

Eon Ju Jin et al.

Summary: The study revealed that broad-leaved evergreen trees have high PM adsorption capacity, especially for PM2.5. Pinus densiflora and Quercus salicina are suitable species for urban greening and PM adsorption. Analysis of the elemental composition of PM accumulated on leaves showed that it is mainly generated by human activities.

Net particulate matter removal ability and efficiency of ten plant species in Beijing

Guojian Chen et al.

Summary: The study found that different plant species have varying abilities and efficiencies in removing particulate matter (PM), with species with high self-cleaning ability generally having higher net PM removal efficiency, while coniferous trees have lower net PM removal efficiency. Furthermore, there are greater differences in the net removal ability of fine and coarse PM compared with large PM, suggesting that careful consideration should be given when selecting species for fine and coarse PM mitigation.
