A Study on Suspended Particle Adsorption and Absorption by Leaves of Roadside Plants

Abstract

The purpose of this paper was to study on atmospheric purification as a function of buffer-planting belts on roadsides. We investigated the relationship between shapes of leaves and volumes of particle adsorption and absorption by the leaves. So, we analyzed quantitatively particles, Pb, Zn of the leaves. And we observed particle adsorption on the leaves by a scanning electromicroscope. Consequently, it was found that the volumes of trapping particles by leaves were different by shapes of the leaves.
