Pruning chemicals from the green building landscape [PDF]
AbstractGreen building design has substantially minimized environmental impacts by reducing energy consumption compared with traditional buildings. Yet, it is not uncommon for a green building to meet the highest criteria for energy efficiency and be built with materials that contain chemicals hazardous to occupant health.

Influence of pruning upon carbon dioxide fixation with urban greening
街路樹を対象として,1回の剪定作業による剪定枝発生量の実測調査と,剪定頻度についての管理者ヒヤリングと全国アンケートを行い,両調査の結果から,剪定管理により持ち出される樹木1本あたりの年間木質部重量を,形状寸法との関係を踏まえて算定し,無剪定下にある樹木の年間木質部成長量と比較することにより,剪定管理が街路樹のCO2固定量に与える影響について考察した。実測の結果,剪定枝発生量は,樹木の成長とともに増大し,胸高直径25cmにおいて,4樹種平均で,無剪定樹木の年間木質部成長量の45.3%に達することが判明した。また,アンケート調査からは,無剪定管理下にある樹木が,6樹種平均で17.9%存在することが判明し,今後のCO2固定促進方策において,剪定枝の有効利用 ...
