The work presented here shows that significant quantities of particulate matter may be removed from the atmosphere by trees of various age and size at a variety of urban locations throughout the UK. The rate of uptake of these particles was shown to vary between species, with trees that display a more aerodynamically rough surface performing as the best air pollution filters. [UMN]
