Exploring the potential for air pollution mitigation by urban green infrastructure for high density urban environment

Abstract

Air pollution has increased in the last decade in China. Urban green infrastructure, such as trees, could help to mitigate air pollution by the dry deposition process. The aim of this paper is to develop an assessment method for improving air quality by appropriate urban green infrastructure for high density urban environment in north China. Based on a literature review of relevant researches, an evaluation method of PM10 removal has been improved.
