Abstract | Pollution, in particular airborne particulate matter (PM), has been recognized as serious threat to human health. Vegetation may contribute to reduce PM concentration, improving environmental and life quality of inhabitants, especially of those living in urban areas, also delivering important Ecosystem Services to human communities. Here are presented some results of a more extensive research project, aimed to explore the effect of urban vegetation on PM concentrations. The study has been carried out in the year 2012 in Villa Ada, a historical park located north of Rome, surrounded by densely built areas and by high-traffic density roads. An experimental measurements campaign of PM concentrations was conducted. We adopted a simplified model for the estimation of the potential PM |
