Air Quality Monitoring
More trees 'need to be planted to improve air quality'
Sep 06 2010
According to an article entitled A Tribute to Trees, they are "magnificent gifts of creation".
It stated that trees offer a number of benefits, including providing oxygen, absorbing CO2 levels and offering shade against the weather.
One of the most important environmental advantages of trees, it said, is their ability to "ameliorate the air quality" of the atmosphere.
It was suggested that "by filtering dust and absorbing o-zone, carbon monoxide, sulphur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, ammonia and heavy metals in suspension," air quality can be improved.
This is likely to be of interest to many people after an article on PSFK last month revealed that the reduction of air quality could be linked to a number of health complaints.
Geographic research Bill Davenhall commented that "environmental factors can serve as key indicators of future health" - a comment which could encourage the planting of more trees in the future.
