Air Quality – Assumptions

  • Dense planting may serve as a barrier to dispersion by

reducing local wind speed and forming a cavity that could capture air pollutants

  • Planting patterns should maintain air flows and consider

alteration of air dispersion patterns

  • Planting patterns may be site specific
  • Plant selection should consider species that are effective in

carbon sequestration and capturing BC, UFP and Benzene (pollutants of concern in dense urban areas)

Planting Considerations (US) - Concept

KEY PRINCIPLES

  • Keep air flowing
  • Trees act as an

elevator to promote particulate dispersion

  • Maximize tree

species that capture particulates
