Plants can help remove air pollution in cities

 🌿 While cities expand and air pollution rises, finding ways to improve air quality becomes crucial The impact of air pollution is staggering, causing over 3 million deaths globally each year – twice the number of traffic-related fatalities. 😮

🍃 Luckily, there's a natural solution right in front of us: plants! 🌳 For example, cities can strategically use green air barriers, like hedges and durable plant rows, to shield pedestrians from harmful pollutants and reduce exposure. A one-meter-high barrier can decrease pollutant concentration by an average of 52%! 🌱

🌍 Let's embrace the power of nature and incorporate more green spaces in our cities for cleaner and healthier air! 🌬️🍃 Discover how plants are transforming urban environments: https://medium.com/climate-conscious/how-plants-can-help-cities-to-improve-urban-air-quality-96ed6edc3f5
