Particulate matter and volatile organic compound phytoremediation by perennial plants: Affecting factors and plant stress response.

Air pollution by particulate matter (PM) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a major global issue. Many technologies have been developed to address this problem. Phytoremediation is one possible technology to remediate these air pollutants, and a few studies have investigated the application of this technology to reduce PM and VOCs in a mixture of pollutants.
