Trees and plants are as important to humans as air and water, but human settlements are built by cutting them down. Man is paying a heavy price for this. He has to live with pollution. Countless diseases are being embraced, but now man has realized his mistake. By planting new trees, he is now paying off the debt of nature. Along with this, efforts are also being made to reduce the pollution of cities by increasing greenery in all the cities of the world.
For this, it is necessary to first know where the level of pollution is and then trees should be planted there accordingly. At the same time, it is also important to understand that trees improve the quality of the air, and not completely clean the air. To make the air clean, it is necessary to minimize carbon emissions.
Plants act as lungs for the atmosphere. They release oxygen and purify the air by absorbing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The leaves of plants also absorb dangerous elements like sulphur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide and make the air clean. Not only this, many types of polluted

elements stick on the velvety twigs and leaves of the plants and get washed away when water falls.
Pollution is more on roads than in residential areas. Therefore, trees with more dense and broad leaves should be planted here. The wider and denser the leaves, the more pollution they will be able to absorb. A research suggests that plants with small fibrous leave also plays an important role in controlling PM. For example, trees like cedar and cypress act as good air purifiers. Research has found that the leaves of these trees have the highest ability to absorb the toxic elements of PM 2.5.
