Urban Forest Revolution [PDF]

open access: yesE3S Web of Conferences, 2018
The tendency of the last 100 years shows the radical change of the proportion between urbanized areas and those dedicated to wild nature and agriculture. Whether we agree with it or not, cities are our future. Also it is confirmed by the annual reports of UNEP that cities are responsible for 75% of CO2 emissions.

An Application of Mist Generator as a Way to Reduce Particulate Matter during High Concentration Episodes in Urban Forests

open access: yesApplied Sciences
Previous conventional mist devices can induce a detrimental effect of leaf burn by intense, focused sunlight in summer. A mist generator is designed to prevent particulate matter (PM) damage to trees by combining mist with PM during high PM episodes.

Comparison of Particle Number Concentrations Between Small and Large Urban Green Spaces During a PM Pollution Episode in Seoul, South Korea

open access: yesLand
We analyzed the effect of reducing particulate matter in a forest by comparing concentrations and particle number concentrations (PNCs) between urban and background forest areas with the use of aerodynamic particle sizers.
