Article Synopsis
- Communities near roads suffer from high traffic-related air pollution, presenting significant public health and environmental justice challenges.
- Roadside green infrastructure, like trees and bushes, can help lower pollution levels, but current Gaussian-based models don't account for these vegetation barriers, making pollution reduction efforts less effective.
- A new multi-regime Gaussian-based model has been developed to incorporate the effects of vegetation on pollutant dispersion and deposition, demonstrating promising accuracy in evaluating air quality improvements for various particle sizes and conditions.
A new methodology, referred to as the multi-scale structure, integrates "tailpipe-to-road" (i.e., on-road domain) and "road-to-ambient" (i.
